Katherine Marie (Kat) Thomas leaves a legacy of faith, strength, love and devotion. Her unwavering love touched so many, leaving a mark of kindness and compassion on everyone who knew her.

Katherine Marie was born on January 11, 1942, in Crocket, Texas. She was God’s precious gift to Willie D and Rosa Lee Wilson. Her family later moved to Houston, Texas.

Katherine was introduced, by her brother, Tommy, to Phillip Thomas of Houston, TX. They were married and  Phillip welcomed Katherine’s son Dion. The couple had two sons together, Terrence and Derek Thomas. Unfortunately, Phillip passed at the tender young age of twenty-eight, leaving Katherine to provide for her sons.
