Nancy Thomas

Nancy Thomas, 63, of Brooklet, GA passed away on September 13, 2025, at Ogeechee Area Hospice, surrounded by the love of her family.

Born on September 18, 1961 in Jacksonville, FL, Nancy lived a life rooted in love, curiosity, and care for others. She was a devoted mother, cherished grandmother, and a dear friend to many.

Her happiest hours were often spent in the garden, where she nurtured plants as tenderly as she did her family. She had a lifelong love of animals, welcoming pets and wildlife alike with kindness and compassion. A passionate genealogist, she found joy in discovering and preserving the stories of those who came before her, ensuring her family’s history would be remembered for generations to come.

Above all, Nancy will be remembered for her generous spirit, her gentle strength, and the love she poured into her children, grandchildren, and everyone lucky enough to know her.

She leaves behind her children, Tyler Shaw (Courtney Hodges), Savannah Shaw, and Nikki Thigpen; grandsons, Rowan O’Conner and Sloan Shaw; and a sister, Donna Schubert.

She is reunited in peace with her parents, Claude and Mary Thomas.

Visitation will be held at 5:30PM on Thursday, September 18, 2025 at Deal Funeral Directors in Statesboro, Ga.

A memorial service to celebrate her life will be held at 6:00PM in the Chapel of Deal Funeral Directors with Mark Yocco officiating.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to the Humane Society.
