Mabel Thomas Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jun. 12, 2010.

Mabel L. Thomas, age 75, went peacefully to Heaven after a long illness. She was in the loving care of Hospice of the Comforter and Conway Lakes Nursing Home. Mabel is survived by her husband, Robert J. Thomas, Emeritus of Ocala; son, Dr. Bill (Nancy) McCallister of Winter Park; daughter, Donna Sadler of Lake Mary; sister, Pearl Gammage (Bo) Johnson of Orlando; brother, James Congleton Stanton of Kentucky; grandchildren, Matthew (Penny), Jason (Sara) David, Justin, Tyler and Seth; great grandchildren, Austin and Hunter; stepson, Robert Thomas; stepdaughter, Linda Russek. Mabel has been a Godly witness since childhood. Her love was for children and youth. She taught many years in Christian schools, Azalea Park Baptist School and Dover Shores Baptist. She worked for First Federal Savings, Orlando, for several years. Mabel loved being a greeter at Faith Assembly Church. All that knew her, loved her. She could be very humorous, even in her last days. She was a special child of God. She also leaves behind many wonderful friends, nieces and nephews. Many teenagers remember her love and guidance for them when they were children. Mabel has touched many lives.

Aunt Mabel was a one of a kind, an original lady in every sense. Always a smile on her face and a Circus Peanut in her purse, she was cherished by all she came in contact with. While she will be missed I am glad in the assurance that she is in place far better than we could ever imagine.

I was so sorry to hear the news about Mabel - we was a wonderful women who loved the Lord and her family. She was a good friend to our family when I was growing up - we had many great talks about ADF. I know that she will be greatly missed.

Mabel will be missed by our entire family. She was truly a lady in every sense of the word. She earned the respect of both children and adults from many avenues. I loved her and will miss her greatly. Our deepest sympathies to the entire family.

It's hard to believe a world without Aunt Mabel in it. An aunt to many, many children. The "gum" lady to all the church kids. A hug just when you needed it as a teenager and words of wisdom as you grew older. She will certainly be missed and always, always thought of fondly!

Very sorry to hear of the passing of one of my favorite adults as I was growing up. "Fatty", don't now why we called her that, was a very funny lady and always had a smile on her face.
