Michelle Patricia Thomas, 57, of Fredericksburg, VA, affectionately known as Shelly, went to be with the Lord on February 16, 2021 at Mary Washington Hospital. Our special Valentine was born on February 14, 1964 in Hartford, CT. She attended Saint Justin School and Thomas Snell Weaver High School. In 1987, Michelle earned a bachelor's degree in Business Management from the University of Hartford. Shortly after, she moved to Virginia where she married the love of her life, Charles Nathaniel Thomas. Together they have two children, Dominique and Charles "CJ" Thomas.

Fashion and shopping were a large part of Michelle's life. She managed several clothing stores and had the opportunity of recruiting a successful team of women to work under her that soon became family. She also loved to travel, especially back to her birthplace, Connecticut where most of her family continues to reside. She often found pleasure in reading literature and magazines about home décor. Michelle spent an extensive amount of time in her flower garden where she found peace in nature. She was a master gardener.

Michelle was undoubtedly committed to her children. She was always present and involved all throughout their education and made it a priority to attend every ballet class, recital, baseball practice, karate class and football games!

Michelle last attended Watchman Ministries in Fredericksburg, VA, where she preached and taught the Word with power and confidence due to her intense study of the Word of God and time spent with God. Prior to Watchman Ministries, she was an active member of Rhema Christian Ministry also located in Fredericksburg, VA. There she was ordained, Elder Michelle Thomas by Reverend Dr. Sabrina St. Clair. She loved taking every opportunity to minister to her family and anyone that God placed in her path. Michelle was gentle, kind and always had a welcoming spirit. She was self sacrificing and always wanted the absolute best for others. Michelle was the founder of Burden Bearers 4Life, a ministry created to serve and encourage caregivers by giving them care packages. Galatians 6:2 "Bear one another's burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ" was the supporting bible verse for her ministry.

Preceding Michelle in passing was her mother, Beverly Jones Winful and brother Michael Hosein.

She leaves to cherish sweet and loving memories to her husband, Charles Thomas; daughter, Dominique Thomas; son, Charles "CJ" Thomas; her adored grandson, Domani Hunter; her unborn granddaughter, Divinity Michelle; father, Errol Hosein; sisters, Eleanor Hosein, April Hosein, Kelly Hosein and Jennifer Hosein; brothers, Patrick Hosein, Carl Winful and Christopher Hosein; and a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family and friends.
