Julie Renn Thomas

Julie “Gigi” Renn Thomas. 
June 19, 1946 – May 27, 2025. 

Julie "Gigi" Renn Thomas passed away peacefully on May 27, 2025, just weeks before her 79th birthday, after a short but courageous battle with Myelodysplastic Syndrome. 

Born on June 19, 1946, in Sioux City, Iowa, to Carolyn Louise Douglass Thomas and John Herald Thomas of Elk Point, South Dakota, Julie was known for her humor, creativity, love of animals, and love of family. 

She is survived by her daughters, Carrie Ann Winch McArthur and Sarah Louise Winch; granddaughter, Bethany Ann King; great-grandson, Arthur Edward Jules King; nephews, Kevin and Mark McCullough; niece, Lissa McCullough; and great-nephews, Michael and Paul McCullough. She was preceded in death by her parents and her beloved sister, Karen Annette Thomas.

Julie had a passion for knitting and jewelry making; and she adored her cat, Kitty. She found her greatest joy in time spent with family and never turned down a sweet treat. Her humor and generous spirit will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

Per her wishes, no formal services will be held. In honor of her memory, her family encourages you to share laughter with your loved ones and consider a donation to your local Humane Society.

Julie was deeply loved and will be sorely missed.
