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 was preceded in death by her parents, Annie Johnson and Jessie Mitchell; her step-parents, Percy Hill and Alice Mitchell; her daughter, Phernesta Faye Thomas Miles; her bonus son, Jimmy Thomas; seven sisters; five brothers; and three beloved grandchildren.
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.
She is also survived by two sisters, Mary Tolliver and Jessie B. Moses; two brothers, A.C. Hill and Percy Hill; one aunt, Essie Rucker; two uncles, Robert Mitchell and Willie Mitchell; one sister-in-law, Julia Mitchell; along with a host of grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, extended family, and friends.

In loving memory of Ms. Minnie Thomas. During one of our talks, Ms. Minnie sang the chorus of the song, "Wade in the Water". It reminded me that in this life there will be troubles but God brings us through it all. Ms. Minnie Thomas, forever in our hearts!

My sincere condolences to the family 🙏
Look to the hills from which cometh all of our help, knowing that all our help comes from the Lord.
I am so glad to have had Momma Thomas in my life! I will always remember the conversation when she told me the day she received the Holy Ghost! It was amazing to hear the smallest details coming from her, but it spoke huge volumes! I truly believe Momma Thomas has her reservation made. 2Timothy 4:8. In every sit&talk we had at the end of all our conversations Momma Thomas would tell me "boy stay out those woods" I will miss you Mom and I will do my best to keep Joe out of those woods!
She will be missed!! Rest, Mrs. Minnie.
Condolences on your loved one's passing. May their memory bring you comfort.
