DANDY — Cora Owens Thomas, 92, peacefully passed away Tuesday, March 9, 2021, at her daughter’s home after a courageous battle with brain cancer.

She was a lifelong resident of Dandy and member of Dandy Baptist Church. She loved her community and enjoyed tending to her flowers and yard.

Cora was preceded in death by her parents, William and Emma Owens; husband, Calvert Thomas; brother, Harold Owens; and daughter, Shirley Baker.

She is survived by her daughters, Barbara Thomas of Newport News and Lois Parker (Richard) of Yorktown; brother, Robert Owens (Betty) of Newport News; sister-in-law, Elizabeth Owens of Barhamsville; four grandchildren, Amy, Brian, Kristi and Lisa; six great-grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews.

The family would like to thank Riverside Hospice for their love and compassion, as well as her many special friends, neighbors and relatives for all their prayers, thoughtful cards and phone calls.

A private service of remembrance will be held for immediate family only.

The family suggests, to those who wish to express sympathy, to consider making a donation to their favorite charity in Cora’s name.
