Christy Thomas - Obituary

hristy Lynn Davis Thomas, 53, devoted mother, daughter, sister, wife, and friend, passed away on Thursday, July 2, 2026, leaving behind a legacy of love, kindness, and unwavering strength. She is preceded in death by her father, Martin G. Davis, retired Metropolitan Police Officer, and by her beloved black Lab, Shadow, who was faithfully by her side for many years. Christy was born to Martin and Marlene Davis on August 28, 1972, in Washington, D.C. Shortly thereafter, the family moved to Fort Washington, Maryland, where she spent most of her childhood. During her teenage years, they relocated to Burtonsville, Maryland, where Christy attended and graduated from Paint Branch High School. After graduating, Christy began her career in public service, dedicating herself to work that reflected her strong sense of responsibility and compassion. Christy was known for her tremendous work ethic and dedication to public service. After high school, she spent nine years with the Department of the Army in the records division, followed by sixteen years with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. When an opportunity opened closer to home, she joined the Anne Arundel County Circuit Court in Annapolis, where she served as a Senior Judicial Criminal Court Clerk until her passing. Christy met Paul Thomas in 2000, and in August 2003 they married. In 2004, Christy and Paul welcomed their beautiful daughter, Madison Thomas. They raised Madison for 22 years in Deale, Maryland, building a home filled with love, laughter, and devotion. Her greatest joy in life was her daughter, Madison. Just last month, Christy proudly watched Madison graduate from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte with a degree in Criminal Justice—an achievement that filled her heart with immeasurable pride. Christy’s smile was constant and contagious. She found happiness in simple, meaningful moments: long walks, beach trips, picking crabs, watching movies, tackling puzzles, and listening to Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift with Madison. Christy enjoyed being a social butterfly, spending time with her friends on the weekends, always bringing laughter, warmth, and her unforgettable energy wherever she went. She adored her beloved dog, Shadow, whose companionship brought her endless comfort and joy. Christy will be deeply missed by her daughter, Madison Thomas, of Deale, MD; her mother, Marlene Davis, of Rehoboth Beach, DE; her sister, April Davis, of Hughesville, MD; her sister‑in‑law, Kristine Thomas of Shady Side, MD; her niece, Taylor Calvert of Georgia; her nephews, Justin Calvert, John Thomas, and Brandon Thomas of Maryland; and her three great‑nieces, Skylar, Lilah, and Bailey, all of whom she absolutely adored. She also leaves behind a large circle of cousins, aunts, uncles, friends, and coworkers who cherished her joyful spirit. Family and friends are invited to celebrate Christy's life at the Kalas Funeral Home & Crematory 2973 Solomons Island Road, Edgewater, MD on Sunday, July 19 from 1 pm until her memorial service begins at 3 pm.
