Hi Cassandra,
I found a Thomas Family Tree, trees.ancestry.com/tree/11344522/person/-481751092 which contains information about your Thomas Family.
In 1910 a William and John Thomas were living in Meridian, Whatcom Co., WA.
Cornelius Mohr, head, b. MI, 33, M2=1 yr, farmer.
Nellie T., wife, b. WA, 21, M1=1 yr.
Cora, b. WA, 8/12ths.
William Thomas, brolaw, b. MI, 17, single, farm laborer.

I couldn't find any member of this family in a 1930 Census.

I looked for her death certificate but didn't find it on-line.
If you want to validate her death date, I'd contact the Whatcom Genealogy Society, theusgenweb.org/wa/whatcom/WGS/wgs.htm . They should have the Washington State Death Index on microfilm.
The Marvin or Martin Thomas that you're looking for is named John Marvin Thomas. He was born Sept. 10, 1921 and died March 3, 1989, Fort Worth, Tarrant Co., TX.
