Sylvia Thomas, a woman whose life was defined by love and faith, passed away peacefully on February 13, 2026, in Dothan, Alabama, at the age of 89. Born on November 30, 1936 in Milton, Florida, to the late John and Sarah Sullivan, Sylvia lived each day with a gentle spirit, a generous heart, and a deep devotion to her family and her Lord.
Sylvia was the devoted wife of the late L.C. Thomas, and together they built a life rooted in commitment, faith, and enduring love. She treasured her family deeply and shared a special bond with her sister, Jane Sullivan, her nieces and nephews, and sister in law, Janice Sullivan, who survive her. She was preceded in death by her brothers, Bill E. Sullivan and Edward Charles Sullivan, and her sisters, Linda Louise Sullivan and Carolyn Sue Sullivan. Though many of her loved ones went before her, Sylvia carried their memories with her always.
A faithful member of Grandview Baptist Church, Sylvia’s church family meant the world to her. She found great joy in worship, in singing the old hymns she loved so dearly, and in serving wherever she was needed. Her faith was not just something she spoke about, it was something she lived daily, through her kindness, her encouragement, and her quiet acts of service.
Sylvia had a gift for making people feel at home, especially within her church family. At Grandview Baptist Church, she was a steady and welcoming presence, always greeting others with a warm smile and a kind word. She found joy in church fellowships and gatherings, taking pride in preparing dishes to share and helping set the tables for meals that brought everyone together. She made sure no one felt left out, offering not only food but encouragement and genuine care. Laughter and heartfelt conversations were a natural part of her time at church, where her faith and love for others shone so brightly.
Those who knew Sylvia will remember her as loving, kind, and steadfast in her faith. She offered comfort without being asked, wisdom without judgment, and support without hesitation. Her life was a beautiful example of simple goodness lived out faithfully day after day.
A celebration of Sylvia’s life will be held on Tuesday, February 24, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. at Grandview Baptist Church with Pastor Mike Grimes officiating. The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service. She will be laid to rest in Sunset Memorial Park Cemetery.
Her presence will be deeply missed, but the love she shared and the faith she lived will continue to shine in the hearts of all who knew her.
