Kerroy Marc Thomas and Alisa Carter Thomas welcomed their daughter, Annalisa CeCelia into the world in Shreveport, Louisiana on August 28, 1990.
Our tiny three-pound and three-ounce bundle of joy was destined to arrive in the world earlier than anticipated. Anna's smile was that of an angel, and she was alert and bright-eyed. Chadwick, her older sibling cherished and safeguarded her from the moment he first encountered her. The two siblings became forever linked. An unbreakable bond existed between Chad and Anna. Anna was daddy's girl who consistently claimed to be her father's twin due to their strong resemblance. She was determined in her pursuit of her life's goals. Anna also known as (Anna Banna) attended Trout Primary, Brookhollow Elementary, and Ms. Lillian Spencer's Day Care. My daughter enjoyed cheering, dancing, and singing.
Annalisa was thrilled to be selected as an LMS and Lufkin High School Cheerleader. Additionally, she was a member of the Lufkin Panther Track Team. In 2008, Annalisa graduated from Lufkin High School. She was also a Cheerleader at Angelina College, where she earned an Associate Degree. Anna was baptized and accepted Christ at an early age. She was excited to learn that her Great Uncle Honey from Los Angeles, California was acquainted with celebrities. So, consequently, she always aspired to visit L.A. and pursue her dream of becoming an actress.
Annalisa was blessed to become the mother of two extraordinary children: K 'Marion Ray Johnson and K'Aliyah Marie Johnson, whom she adored with all her heart. Her pride and joy were her children. She was a teenage mother who was both nurturing and compassionate. Jayden was a beloved nephew of Anna, who she frequently called her baby. Anna was named after her Maw Maw (Ann), whom she adored, and she loved her dearest (Maggie). Her Aunt Ericka was like a big sister and she loved her dearly. She thought the world of her Pa Pa (J.W. Center). Anna was employed as a Healthcare Provider and worked at The Lufkin State School. She took great pride in assisting the elderly. Annalisa CeCelia, our beautiful baby girl, blossomed into an amazing young lady. Her love had no boundaries. She touched the hearts and souls of many. We are grateful to God for granting our family the opportunity to borrow her for a brief period. Now smile and dance my Anna Banna with the other angels in Heaven.
