Darla J. Thomas

Darla Jo Thomas took her journey to eternal life with our Lord on October 1st 2023. She was born to Robert and Darlene Thomas on February 24, 1973.

She attended school in Necedah Wisconsin.  She was a fierce competitor at sports and excelled at them all. She had a work ethic like no other, nothing less than 100%. She loved an adventure from hiking, climbing bluffs, a mountain peak to paddling the waterways the tougher and riskier the better. She loved nature and the natural beauty of Gods gifts. Her sense of humor and quick wit brought laughter to all around her. She was a Jeopardy wizard and loved someone to challenge her. She had the most beautiful smile and green eyes that sparkled like gems. Darla was a kind, considerate, loving person who showed acceptance to all. Her faith in God was important to her and is what she leaned on during her toughest journey ever.

Darla is survived by her siblings Bob (Jacque’) Thomas, Janet Morris, Brian (Grace) Thomas, Sheri (Jim) Gramza, Keith Thomas. She is survived by Aunts and Uncle, Cousins, Nieces and Nephew and dear friends. She is also survived by her greatest love, her Goddaughter Tatum. It was Darla’s greatest joy when her best friend Lynda gave her the honor of Godmother. She was preceded in death by her parents Robert and Darlene, her grandparents Verno and Fern Thomas, and Alice Rich
