- Obituary:
"Debbie, 54, of Springfield VA, was welcomed into the arms of her Lord and Savior on November 30, 2014 following a courageous two year battle with ovarian cancer. She was born on May 28, 1960 in Vineland, NJ to the late Lester and Barbara Gifford and later moved to Rockville MD where she spent her formative years. She graduated from Richard Montgomery High School in 1978 and Bridgewater (VA) College in 1982 with Bachelor Degrees in Business Administration and Economics.
Debbie was married to Army MAJ (Ret) Robert Thomas for 32 years, and they have two grown sons and a future daughter-in-law: Alan and his fiancé Briana Dillon of West Layayette, IN and Jeffrey of Springfield, VA. In addition to these loved ones, Debbie is survived by older brothers Wayne, Warren, Wynn, half brothers Alan and Donnie, their wives and numerous nieces and nephews.
Debbie had an amazing zeal for life, a wonderful sense of humor, and an incredibly generous spirit. In addition to being a devoted wife and mother, Debbie was an avid quilter and longtime member of the Burke Quilters Unlimited quilt guild. Debbie's strong faith in God anchored her life and she enjoyed being a longtime member of Knollwood Community Church in Burke, VA."
