Hazel Norma Thompson
1939-2019
The world lost a strong and resilient woman on October 14,
2019 when Hazel Norma Thompson passed away at Thomas Hall, Shannex,
Fredericton, formerly of Burton, NB with her loving family watching
over her.
Born on May 8, 1939 in North Forks, NB, she was the only
child of the late Acey and Leila Thompson. She was
predeceased by her husband David Lawson Thompson in August
2003.
Survived by her daughter Crystal McKay (Greg) of Fredericton,
NB; her grandson David (Starlene) of Drayton Valley, AB, her two great
grandsons, Lawson of Burton, NB and Ty of Drayton Valley, AB and a
step great granddaughter, Payzleigh of Drayton Valley, AB.
She is also survived by her cat, Kiwi, who had to be rehomed in
October 2017 once we knew Hazel would not be able to go back
home. Kiwi now lives in a very loving home where her new cat
mom and dad send regular updates and pictures. Hazel really
enjoyed receiving these updates.
Prior to marrying David in November of 1959, Hazel worked at
the Lantic Sugar Refinery in Saint John, NB. She was an air
force wife with postings that took her and David to Nova Scotia,
Germany, Manitoba, Quebec and finally back to New Brunswick where they
settled and retired. Her interests included cooking, cats,
reading, word search puzzles, gardening and bird
watching.
A special thanks to the many caregivers who provided love and
care over the years, to the staff of Thomas Hall, Shannex, and last
but not the least, Crystal’s lifelong friend Darlene
Connelly-Lucas who visited Hazel and stepped up to the plate when
Crystal couldn’t be there.
Arrangements are entrusted to the care of Oromocto Funeral
Home, with visitation hours on Thursday, October 17, 2019 from
4-7pm. The funeral service will be held from the Funeral
Home Chapel on Friday, October 18, 2019 at 1:00 pm followed
immediately by the burial in the Burton Cemetery. In lieu of
flowers, donations in Hazel’s memory can be made to the
Canadian Diabetes Association, Heart and Stroke Foundation or a
charity of the donor’s choice.
