Ann D. Watt Thomas was born in Abbeville South Carolina on Friday, May 29, 1925 to Henry and Louise Callahan Watt. She received her formal education in the Abbeville School System. She later moved with her family up north to Philadelphia, PA. There she developed her trade and worked in the sewing industry. She left her trade to work for John M. Taxin, owner of the famous "Book Binders Restaurant," to nurture his children as their Nanny.

Ann had a great sense of humor and a lively personality. She enjoyed people and went to many social events. In 1957, she caught the eye of the handsome retired Marine Veteran, Donald Thomas at the VPA Club in North Philadelphia. This Blessing from GOD marked the beginning of "Endless Love!" After several years of courtship, they married on December 25, 1964.

Ann was " Elegant and Classy! " She loved to shop and was always in style with the latest fashion. Her first car was a Cadillac and her last was a Lexus! She traveled across the country and abroad, but her favorite place was Hawaii.  Don knew he had a Queen and doted on her. Ann enjoyed life with her beloved "Don," totally focused on their marriage and giving all her love, devotion and support throughout his stellar career in the Philadelphia Police Department, where he retired after 48 years of service at the rank of Inspector.

Ann was raised a child of GOD. Ann's transition into a woman of GOD was seamless. In the mid 1980's Don and Ann joined the St. Raymond of Penafort Roman Catholic Church. She was an active member until the Lord slowed her down then finally called her home to Glory on October 25, 2017. AMEN!
