Virginia Thomas Obituary
Virginia G. Thomas, 83, of Findlay, was called home Thursday, April 4, 2024.
She was born April 11, 1940, in Findlay, to Harold and Bertha (Schille) Christopher. Virginia married Jerry Thomas on May 5, 1956, and he preceded her in death Feb. 6, 2014.
Virginia is survived by four children, Teresa A. (Robert) Hess of Tiffin, Jeffrey W. (Mary Baker) Thomas of Findlay, Kelly L. (Jim) Trimble of Houcktown, and Chrissa G. (Brad) Wagner of Alvada; 11 grandchildren; 40 great-grandchildren; and one great-great-granddaughter.
She was also preceded in death by her parents; two brothers, James and Harold Christopher; two sisters, Betty Gruber and Shirley Sapp; and two grandchildren, Geoffrey Thomas and Krystal Beck.
She enjoyed golfing, boating, and gardening, but most of all, she enjoyed spending time with her family and watching her grandchildren grow up. Following retirement in 1992, Virginia and Jerry moved to Florida where they spent over 20 years.
Visitation will be 10 a.m. - 12 p.m. Tuesday, April 9, 2024, at COLDREN-CRATES FUNERAL HOME. There will be no services.
