Word reached the Chancellor’s Office of the passing of Ms. Susan Thomas on December 19, 2025 after a brief illness.  Born May 28, 1951, in Tampa Florida, Susan was a graduate of the Academy of the Holy Names.  She furthered her education at Manhattanville College in Purchase, New York, graduating with a BA in English.  Susan returned to Tampa after graduation and devoted many years to volunteering for the Junior League of Tampa.

She worked on a variety of committees and served as the President of the Junior League.  Susan then embarked on a career as Program Director for WBVM radio.  Following her years at the radio station, Susan worked at St. Peter Claver Catholic School for 10 years, serving first as the school librarian and then as a religion teacher.

She was predeceased by her parents Bob and Suzanne Thomas. She is survived by her siblings, Anne L. Thomas, Robert M. Thomas, and Christina T. Sievers, and nieces and nephews.  She also leaves behind a larger family of friends and devoted caregivers. Her family wishes to express their gratitude to her nurses, the office staff at Care Team Home Healthcare, and her physicians, Carolyn Connelly and Denise Edwards, for the excellent care and kindness they provided to Susan.

A lifelong Catholic, Susan devoted her life to others. At her request, her funeral services and burial will be private.

Please keep her and her family in your thoughts and prayers.
