Kris J. Thomas, 60, died April 11, 2016, in Plant City.
Ms. Thomas was born in Stevens Point, Wisconsin, and grew up in Wausau. She graduated high school in 1973, college in 1977 and law school in 1991. She practiced family law in Wisconsin through 2011, when a traumatic brain injury ended her career. She moved to Plant City in 2013. Through her life, she was a very driven, independent and intelligent person. All that knew her recognized she was an amazing, joyful and caring person.
She is survived by her mother, Barbara Thomas-Simms (Richard); brothers, Ronald Jr. (Joyce), Kevin (Diane) and Kirk (Betty); uncles, Gene Thomas (Donna) and Paul Grenier (Cy); her partner, Jim Drake; and many nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her father, Ronald Sr.; and brother, Keith.
A celebration of life will be held in the Madison area at a later date, and her remains will be interred with her father at Pine Grove Cemetery in Wausau.
