Ann Guy Thomas

January 5, 2018

Ann Leslie Guy Thomas, 70, of Fort Mill, SC passed away January 5, 2018, after a short battle with cancer. Ann was born in Keyser, WV, the daughter of the late Kenneth Edward Guy and Norma Eris Foote Guy, and sister of the late Nancy Kay Guy Fortier. Ann was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Floyd Thomas, Jr., affectionately known to all as Tommy, and also by her father-in-law, Floyd Thomas, Sr. and mother-in-law Gladys Thomas. From a young age Ann had a love of books and reading. She maintained this interest throughout her life, most notably as an Interlibrary Loan Assistant at Winthrop University, where she was employed for more than 32 years. As much as she enjoyed her job at Winthrop, she was even more deeply attached to her friends, coworkers and students at the university. Ann had an amazing ability to recall names and dates, an outgrowth of her interest in people and their stories. She was always ready to lend an ear and to share in conversations with her family and friends. She especially loved to hear about children and pets. Since childhood, Ann always had at least one pet dog, currently her beloved Paco and Pookie. Ann's greatest joy in life came from her family, especially her son, Timothy Thomas. Other survivors include nephew, Guy Fortier and his wife Lesley and daughters, Caitlin and Gillian; niece, Melissa Neader and husband Mike and children, Eliza Kay, Nick and Jennie; and dear friend of the family, Mauricio A Lopez, know to us as "Albert". The family will receive friends from 5 p.m. until 7 p.m., Monday, January 8, 2018 at Wolfe Funeral Home. Services celebrating Ann's life will be at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, January 9, 2018, at Philadelphia United Methodist Church, with Pastor Becky Shirley officiating. She will be laid to rest at the church cemetery. In lieu of flowers, memorials are requested to be given to the Humane Society of York Co., 8177 Regent Pkwy., Fort Mill, SC 29715; or to Philadelphia United Methodist Church, 1691 West Hwy. 160, Fort Mill, SC 29708.
