Hollie Dianne Thomas, 78, of Albany Vermont, passed away peacefully on January 25, 2023. Hollie's loving daughter and son in law were at her side.

Hollie grew up in Boston Massachusetts with her mother Madeleine Brooks Webber. Hollie met the love of her life, Charles "Chuck" Thomas in Watertown, Massachusetts. In 1965, they married and eventually moved to Albany, settling on the same property she continued to own, and care for.

Hollie was predeceased by her husband, Chuck, in 1990. She leaves behind her devoted daughter and son in law, Jennifer and Tracy Jarvis, and her granddaughter and her fiancé, Jade Jarvis and Dylan Jennison. She also leaves behind special friends Cecile Gelineau and Donna Brown-Perry, who visited her at Maple Lane weekly, bringing homemade meals and chocolate ice cream.

Hollie was an employee of North Country Hospital for 30+ loyal years; she was proud of her work and very devoted to the hospital. Hollie was well known and deeply loved around the hospital - she may have been known for pinching a male butt or two. This habit continued throughout her life and during her time at Maple Lane.

Hollie was an animal lover, deeply devoted to her horses, and later in life a group of 4 cats - because she couldn't leave the animal shelter with just one. We will always remember Hollie riding off onto the trails on her stallion Sonata (Sonny), leather riding gloves on, riding western on a horse that towered over her. Hollie rode horses into her 70's, using a step stool to reach the stirrups.

Hollie enjoyed many things - a few of her favorites were a beautiful classical piano concert, a good taco night, mowing her lawn on a sunny Sunday afternoon, weekly self-manicures on Saturday nights, and chocolate mint pie.

Her family so appreciates Hollie's time at Maple Lane Nursing Home in the last year of her life, as this time brought her and her family many new friends, and kept Hollie laughing until her very last days. Her family could not have survived the past year without the love and support of everyone at Maple Lane.

Hollie "Gram" will be deeply missed, but we are comforted that she is at peace now.
