Mrs. Minnie Johnson Thomas was born on December 28, 1925, in Russell County, Alabama, to the late Annie Johnson and Jessie Mitchell. She entered into eternal rest on April 11, 2026, at her residence in Fort Mitchell, Alabama.

At an early age, she accepted Christ and joined St. John A.M.E. Church in Fort Mitchell, Alabama. She later united with Antioch Missionary Baptist Church, where she faithfully served in the choir.

Mrs. Minnie was truly one of a kind—full of love, light, wisdom, and a spirit that touched everyone she encountered. Her kindness, warmth, and unforgettable presence will forever live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.

She was employed as a food service worker and custodian at Fort Benning, Georgia. In her free time, she enjoyed cooking, cleaning, gardening, and fishing. She was united in holy matrimony to the late Mr. William Thomas.

She leaves to cherish her precious memories: her daughters, Donna Thomas and Gloria Crowell, both of Fort Mitchell, Alabama; one son, Joseph Thomas, of Fort Mitchell, Alabama; and her daughter, Annie (George) Terrell, of Columbus, Georgia.

She also leaves a host of bonus children: Rena (William) Clowers of Stone Mountain, Georgia; James (Georgia) Thomas, Robert Thomas, Rosa Kirk, Bertha Brown, Willow Butler, and Turner (Jeanette) Williams, all of Columbus, Georgia; and Rev. Daniel (Jossethia) Thomas of Indianapolis, Indiana.
