Obituary

A Time to Be Born
Sabrina Denise Willingham Thomas was born on June 23, 1969, at Hendry General Hospital in Clewiston, Florida, to the late James Henry Willingham Sr. and Ada Simpson Willingham.

A Time to Live
Sabrina was raised in Lake Harbor, Florida. She attended Lake Harbor Head Start and Rosenwald Elementary in South Bay, FL. She later graduated from Glades Central High School, Class of 1987.

Immediately following graduation, Sabrina pursued her calling in the medical field by enrolling in Palm Beach Nursing Academy. She became a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) and worked diligently as a private duty nurse. Later, she became a certified preschool teacher with Lutheran Services, where she continued to impact lives through compassion and care.

Sabrina was a frequent visitor of Miracle by Faith Ministries, under the leadership of the late Bishop Humphrey and currently Pastor Albert Polk IV. Known for her magnetic personality, radiant sass, and fashion sense that was out of this world—Sabrina brought joy wherever she went. Her laugh was contagious, lighting up any room she entered. Her heart of gold and deep love for her family left a lasting impression on everyone she met.

A Time to Embrace / A Time to Leave
On Sunday, June 22, 2025, a golden heart stopped beating. The Lord saw His child was growing weary and gently called her home.

She is preceded in death by her father, James Henry Willingham Sr.; grandparents: J.B. & Mattie Willingham, Emanuel & Luella Simpson; aunts: Ada Mae Styles; uncles: Larry, Andrew, Harvey, J.B., Eddie, Joe Willingham, Emanuel Jr., Andrew, Wade, and Robert Simpson.
