Mildred Thompson
With heavy hearts and great love, the family wishes to
announce the peaceful passing of our beloved mother, Mildred Rose
Thompson (nee Dungale) of Markham, Ont. (formerly of Trenton and New
Glasgow, NS) in her 93rd year on September 14, 2021.
For 92 years, Mom devoted her life to her family and
community. She was a wonderful hostess and her home was always a soft
place to land for many who needed a kind ear or solid
refuge.
Mom was a woman of great faith and has touched many lives
with her insight and compassion, inspiring many in their own
relationship with Christ. She cherished her friendships made in many
churches and organizations in Pictou County and currently in
Unionville Presbyterian Church (Ont).
In recent years, she anticipated the reunion with our father
and « going home » was never feared.
We will miss the twinkle in her eyes; her quick wit and
laughter; her reassuring smiles and gentle hugs; her unconditional
love and openness.
We will always be grateful for the memories we have and the
lessons she taught us, influencing the people we have
become.
She is survived by her children: Veronica (Gordon) MacDonald,
New Glasgow; Lynn Thompson, Markham, Ont; Peter (Joan) Thompson, New
Glasgow, chosen daughter, Linda Olding, New Glasgow; daughter-in-law,
Paula (Rick) Behie, New Glasgow; and her siblings: brother, Donald
(Anita) Dungale, Goderich, Ont; sisters: Eleanor (Gerry) Dollmont,
Clearwater, Fla.; Lorraine (Ray) Freeman, Calgary, Alta. Dear to her
heart are her grandchildren and great-grandchildren: Melissa
(Christoph), Gordon Jr., Michelle, Kyle, Tyler, Nikki (Josh); Ella,
Zoe, Vincent, Madilyn, Liam; and her much loved nieces and nephews.
Predeceased were her parents, Joseph and Millie Dungale; husband,
Peter; son, Jim; brother, Joe Dungale; nephew, David Dollmont;
sons-in-law: Tom Olding and Paul Thompson.
A graveside service for family and friends will be held at
2:30 pm Saturday, October 30, in Lorne Street Cemetery, New Glasgow,
with Rev. Dr. Morley Shaw officiating. Donations may be made to the
Unionville Presbyterian Church or the MS Society.
