Lesly Byram Thompson
1922-2018
Lesly Byram Thompson of Fredericton, NB, passed away
peacefully at the Moncton City Hospital at the age of 96. Born in
Edmundston, NB, in 1922, she was the daughter of the late Lemuel Byram
Estey and the late Isobel Cantley Estey. She was also predeceased by
her brothers, Donald and Alexander Estey.
Lesly was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother. She was
married for almost 60 years to her loving husband, Dr. W.B. Thompson
beside whom she will be resting. Together they built a life on Kings
College Road where they had resided for over 50 years. Lesly will be
remembered fondly by friends, neighbours and family for her gentle
nature and kind spirit.
While in Fredericton she was an active member of Wilmot
United Church, the St. Anne’s Chapter of the I.O.D.E., and a strong
supporter of the ideals of the Fredericton Co-op. On the weekends, she
frequently enjoyed time with family and friends either at the family
trailer on Grand Lake or playing cards with her bridge
group.
Lesly moved to Moncton in 2010 to be closer to family and
resided at the ProTem Nursing Home on Gorge Road. The family wishes to
thank the dedicated staff at that facility for their exemplary
care.
She will be dearly missed by her son, Donald Thompson of
Riverview, NB, and his wife, Rita Lombard (daughters Lysanne
and Tara); her grandchildren, Allison McAuley (Joshua) of Riverview,
Kevin Thompson (Karilyn) of Halifax, NS; and family friend, Linda
Harvey of Fredericton.
There will be no visitation. A memorial service will be held
from the J.A. McAdam Memorial Chapel, 160 York St., Fredericton, on
Friday, September 14, 2018 at 1:00 pm. Rev. Ellen Beairsto will
officate. Interment will take place in Fredericton Rural Cemetery. In
lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Lesly’s
favourite charities – the Canadian Red Cross or The Salvation Army.
