Carrie Abr4am Thomas was born on December 29, 1937 in Angie, LA to Clarence and Minnie Abram. She was the oldest of 2 siblings. On Wednesday, February 25th, 2015, she entered into an eternal rest--returning to the "Bosom of her Heavenly Father," from whence she came.

Joining Live Oak United Methodist Church at an early age, and accepting Christ as her personal savior, was the foundation needed to ensue being a committed member for many years. She served in whatever capacity necessaries, until her health began to decline. During her younger years, she was employed by the Green Giant Canning Company in Wisconsin. Returning home, because of downsizing, she worked for a number of small farms throughout Washington Parish, and as far as Sandy Hook, MS. Eventually, she returned to being a homemaker.

Carrie was a woman who loved her family with all of her being. If she could help you accomplish something, all you had to do was ask and if it was in the power of her hand to do it, then it was done. It was a lesson that she taught to all of her children. "That we are to love one another and treat people like we want them to treat us."

Carrie was preceded in death by her parents, Clarence and Minnie Abram, husband Alse Thomas; sister, Mildred Davis, daughter, Roberta Thomas; grand children, Veronica Thomas and Jessica Thomas and one niece, Vellora Benjamin.
