Alicia Lynn Thomas

Alicia Lynn Thomas, born on July 1, 1982, in Daegu, South Korea, passed away on April 26, 2026. As an infant, Alicia moved to the United States with her family, as her father served in the United States Air Force. Though she lived in many places throughout her childhood, she always considered Goldsboro, North Carolina, to be home.

Alicia was a loving mother, devoted daughter, and a cherished friend—but to those who truly knew her, she was so much more. She was energy. She was light. She was the kind of person you felt before she even spoke. When Alicia walked into a room, something shifted. Conversations got warmer, laughter came easier, and people felt safe just being themselves.

She didn’t believe in surface-level connections. Alicia built real bonds—deep, genuine relationships that turned friends into family. If she loved you, you knew it. And you felt it. She showed up, she checked in, she gave without hesitation. She was the person you could call for anything, and somehow, no matter what she had going on, she made space for you.

In her career as a realtor, Alicia found fulfillment in helping others, but for her, it was never just about homes—it was about people. She cared deeply about making sure others felt secure, supported, and taken care of. That same care carried into every part of her life. She was a nurturer in the truest sense—the one who made sure everyone was good, often before even thinking about herself.

Alicia was intentional with everything, especially her words. She didn’t believe in “trying”—she believed in doing. She would always say “hope is not a strategy”. She pushed the people around her to rise higher, to believe in themselves, and to speak life over their own situations. Negative talk didn’t live around her. She corrected it, replaced it, and reminded you who you were until you believed it again.

Alicia found joy in the moments that brought her peace and happiness. Whether she was in the pool, traveling to new places, putting together puzzles or Lego flowers (Alicia was very creative), planting flowers because she loved playing in the soil, or simply spending time with the people she loved, she embraced life fully. She loved trying new foods (especially sweets) and found happiness in those little experiences that made life feel rich and full. And when she was with her friends, her immediate and real estate family, those were some of her happiest moments, filled with laughter, connection, and love.

To know Alicia was to feel seen. To feel encouraged. To feel like you mattered. She didn’t just exist in people’s lives—she poured into them, lifted them, and left them better than she found them.

Her light and energy don’t leave—they became a part of everyone she touched, every word she spoke, and every life she helped shape. Now they live on through us—in how we love, how we uplift, and how we carry forward the energy she gave so freely.

She will be remembered not just for being sweet and loving, but for the way she showed up—fully, selflessly, and without hesitation—for everyone lucky enough to know her.

Alicia is survived by her son, Dillon; bonus sons Dustin, Dane and Dash; father, Jeffrey; her fiancé Gemoyne Lamond; cousin, Crystal (Jarvis); best friends Brenda “Barbs” and Kera; She was preceded in death by her mother, Sun-Ae Thomas and grandmother Mary Thomas.

A Celebration of Life will be held at Roswell Funeral Home, 950 Mansell Road, Roswell, GA 30076, US, on May 7, 2026, at 2:00 pm.
