Lois Mary Mulligan Guilderland NY wife of Garry Thomas passed away suddenly at St. Peter's Hospital April 22, 2020. Born in Albany May 30, 1954 Lois was the daughter of the late Frank B. and Emelia H. Mulligan
Lois was a graduate of Shaker High School. In her early career she was secretary to the Albany County Clerk before moving to New Orleans where she lived many years in the city she fell in love with.
Upon her return to the Capital District Lois became Administrative Assistant to the Superintendent of both Albany County and Ann Lee Nursing Homes where she met her loving husband Garry.
She loved spending the summers at their camp on Woodstock Lake, tending to her little gardens and watching them grow along with all the grandchildren swimming, boating, fishing and playing at the big playground.
Lois lived life bigger than most. She not only liked people, she loved them at her fullest. If she spotted you in a crowd she would greet you with hugs and kisses. She was the kindest person ever.
