Milinda was preceded in death by her parents, Wiliam and Alice Thomas of Findlay, Ohio. Milinda is survived by her husband Scott; son Mitchell; siblings Melanie Radenbaugh, Scott and Michelle Thomas, Michael and Tanya Thomas, and many nieces and nephews.

Milinda was born in Findlay, Ohio, and resided in Georgia for the past 31 years,  most recently in Flowery Branch. She and her husband, Scott Griggs, had been married for 45 years and business owners for the past 50 years. Whether it was working at train shows, sorting parts, or dressing up for work events, she was there with the biggest smile. Trainz.com would not be where it is today without her hard work and continuous support.

Milinda enjoyed life on Lake Lanier, traveling to different states and countries, experiencing new things, and spending time with family.

Trainz employees and others who knew Milinda will miss her deeply, but are grateful to have known her for the time she was here.

We at Classic Toy Trains offer the Griggs family our deepest condolences.
