Marilyn Tate Wells Thomas

            Marilyn Tate Wells Thomas, 74, of Mebane, NC, went home to be with the Lord on June 8, 2019 while at her home surrounded by her family after a long illness. A native of Alamance County, she was preceded in death by her parents, Worth and Maxine (Tate) Wells. She was a graduate of Eastern Alamance High School and retired from Walter Kidde in Mebane.

            Marilyn was a member of Cross Roads Presbyterian Church, where she enjoyed singing in the choir. She enjoyed all things crafty, including quilting, sewing, and baking. But her greatest joy came from time spent with her family and close friends. She was a devoted sister, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother.

            She is survived by her loving daughters, Angela Shernock (Shane) and Caroline Willetts (David); four grandchildren, Jordan, K.J., and Sunshine Hayes, and Rebekah Willetts; as well as four great grandchildren. Brothers, James Wells (Barbara), Mike Wells (Nancy), and sister, Debra Wells-Thayer (Gary). Aunt, Betty Rader (Charles) of Alta Vista, VA. And a large extended family.
