    Her Story

    Our dearly beloved Gwen, age 33, went to be with the Lord on May 1, 2024. A loving mother and caring, tender wife, Gwen loved Jesus deeply. Even through intense postpartum depression, she loved her family and friends well, always speaking about the Lord’s goodness, faithfulness, and power to heal and save. She will be remembered for her empathy for others, especially those that had experienced trauma, and her love for bringing them truth and hope.

    Gwen had an angelic, beautiful voice and loved to sing worship music in praise to our great God.  She knew how to minister to the hearts of others and make them laugh in the same breath. She inspired other women to be gentle wives and mothers, and her fiery side was fuel for so much fun and laughter. Our Gwen was an absolute light that reflected Jesus, a light that captivated the hearts and minds of so many. Many described her as the sweetest person they knew.

    Gwen will be deeply missed by her loving husband, Michael, of 11 years and their three sons Arlo (7), Remington (3), and Shaeffer (4 months). She is preceded in death by her beloved grandparents James and Dorothy (Willoughby) Graper. She is survived by her parents Anthony Manion and Ann Graper Nance; brothers Nick (Kristin) and Alex; brothers-in-law Jason (Jean) Heinen, Tim (Haley) Heinen, Alex (Ashley) Heinen, Jeff (Katy) Heinen, Isaac Heinen, and sister-in-law Melissa (Zack) Wallin;  her in-laws, Jeff and Holly Heinen; grandparents George and Mardel Manion, Bill and Carol Heinen, Don and Jody Pearson; and many, many nieces, nephews and friends.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”profile-links-header”]

    Her Story

    Kathleen (Katy) Elizabeth Thomas, age 30 of Taunton, passed away on February 28, 2024 of complications following childbirth at Good Samaritan Hospital.

    Born in Taunton, she was the daughter of Arnold Thomas, III of Taunton and the late Elizabeth (Fottler) Brown.

    Katy was the devoted mother of Aaila Faith and Amia Hope.  She is also survived by her brother, Joshua Brown, his wife Lee Anne and her adored nephew Orson of New Hampshire. Katy was also the cherished granddaughter of Kathleen and the late Robert Fottler of Taunton, and Flo and the late Arnold Thomas of California. She will be missed by her many aunts, uncles and cousins, namely Joey and Kyle, with whom she shared a special bond.

    Katy graduated from Bristol Plymouth High School, where she met some of her lifelong friends. She enjoyed spending time with her large family, from summers at her Aunt Robin’s pool to spending St. Patrick’s Day in Newport.  Katy and her daughter Aaila had many traditions; attending the lighting of the green, grandma’s “girl’s weekend”, and summer adventures all over New England. She loved animals, nature and spending days at the beach.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”profile-links-header”]
