OCEAN CITY — Allison Kathleen Thomas, 41, of Ocean City. (formerly Princess Anne, MD) departed this earth peacefully on May 23, 2023, surrounded by her loving family at TidalHealth Peninsula Regional.
Allison K. Thomas
Allison was born Nov. 21, 1981, in Salisbury and is survived by her husband, Kevin Ginnavan; her parents, Kathy Ennis and Barry Thomas of Princess Anne; her sister, Shelby Allen (William) of Charleston, S.C.; maternal grandmother, Kathleen Ennis of Princess Anne; and paternal grandmother, Francis Thomas, of Princess Anne. She is also survived by her parents-in-law, Carol and Calvin Ginnavan Jr. of Ocean City; brother-in-law Bryan Ginnavan (Amy) of Berlin; and nephews Chase and Logan Ginnavan. She leaves behind her beloved cat, Stormy, and is preceded in death by her grandfathers, Sydney “Carroll” Ennis and Daniel Thomas.
She was a 1999 graduate of Washington High School and studied Psychology at Wor-Wic Community College, as well as Salisbury University. Allison had a passion for helping others; kindness mattered greatly to her.
Allison will be remembered throughout the hospitality industry, as she spent many years working at Peaky’s Restaurant in Princess Anne. There, she made lifelong friends. She made the leap to Ocean City when she joined BJ’s on the Water and later, Crabcake Factory Bayside in Selbyville, Del. Her co-workers quickly became family, along with her adoring customers. She loved to support her friends and community, in recent years, at The Original Crabcake Factory in Ocean City and held “the best job I’ve ever had” at Mancini’s Brick Oven Pizzeria and Restaurant in Fenwick Island, Del. before her illness. She enjoyed meeting and conversing with patrons daily. She truly touched the lives of so many.
Friends recall Allison as down-to-earth, friendly, non-judgmental, and a sweet soul. She loved her family & friends deeply and enjoyed the simple things in life; a good book was all she needed. She lived with no regrets and will be profoundly missed. May we all treat others with more kindness, love and understanding, in Allison’s honor.
Cremation followed Allison’s passing, per her wishes. Her family welcomes you to a Celebration of Life on Saturday, June 24, 2023, from 1-3pm, at Our Harvest, 1106 Coastal Highway, Fenwick Island, Del. 19944.
