Julia L. Thomas

Julia "Sandy" Hockless Thomas, age 72, passed away on March 26, 2023, in Beaumont, Texas.  She was born on February 7, 1951, to Albert Sr. and Fannie Mae Hockless in Beaumont, Texas.

Julia was a longtime resident of Beaumont and attended Charlton-Pollard High School.  Shortly after, she began working at Cintas Corporation.  After over 20 years of dedication and service, she retired in 1996.

During her retirement years, on August 10, 2007, she fulfilled one of her many dreams, and married her long-term friend and love of her life, Isaac Thomas.  Julia and Isaac shared a love of sports.  One of their favorite sports to watch was basketball.  Of course, Julia loved her some Lebron James.  But her favorite athlete and basketball player of all time was her son and only child Kenneth.  She looked forward to seeing him play and watching his games throughout his high school and college career.  Besides being a beloved mother, sister, aunt, grandmother, and friend, Julia enjoyed spending time with Kenneth and her grandchildren.

Julia was predeceased by her parents Albert and Fannie Mae; two sisters Geneva Marshall and Elsie Anderson; three brothers, Charles and Henry Hockless and one grandson Jacob Hockless.

She is survived by her husband Isaac Thomas, son Kenneth Hockless (Nancy); four sisters Betty Moore, Verlene LeBlanc, Joanne Bobb, all of Beaumont, Texas and Alberta Matthews of New Iberia, Louisiana; and three brothers Albert Jr., Delbert and Michael Hockless all of Beaumont, Texas and a host of nieces and nephews who loved her dearly.

From her only child, she is survived by six grandchildren, Kourtney, Keiana, Kaleb, Joshua, Christian, and Naomi, and four great-grandchildren, Julien, Jordin, Kylaan, and Moises.
