Welsh (Thompson), Julia Lorraine of Newcombville. Mom made it
to 90! Born July 7, 1933, in Bridgewater to Lyda (Mailman) and Avard
Thompson, she slipped away peacefully on March 6, 2024, after a day
filled with pain, sadness, laughter, joy and gratitude.
Mom was inherently shy but thrived on the company of others,
preferably in low numbers. She said, «It is good to have one on
one time with people.» She welcomed all into the house,
especially all our friends growing up, who held her in high regard.
Rarely did anyone leave without having had a conversation in the
kitchen, a roll or cookie fresh from the oven, or some form of care
package for the road.
Over the last 7 years, her great granddaughter, Ariel,
rejuvenated Mom and gave her joy and a sense of hope. Yet it
contributed to sadness, as she would reflect on relationships lost
over the years. The loss of son, Michael, took a lot from Mom. This
was compounded by the loss of son, Darrell, who she was particularly
close to during his years at home and who supported her gardening
efforts and was always doing something to make her work easier. In her
words, all Mom wanted was to be loved. Don’t we
all?
She is survived by sons, William, Greg, and David; daughter,
Peggy; sisters, Shirley and Barbara; and brother John, grandchildren
and great grandchildren, and all their families too numerous to
mention, as well as chosen son and daughter, Roy Negus and May Higney.
She often said she loved to laugh as John did when they were children
but could not find amusement and laugh as readily and intensely as he
could. She was predeceased by her parents; husband of 68 years,
William (aka Carson) Welsh; sons, Michael and Darrell; and brothers,
Victor and George.
It is with extreme gratitude that we thank Dr. Salomon and
the caring and compassionate team of the Medical Surgery Unit for
their efforts to provide patient-centered versus system-centered care
while keeping our Mom and Dad together during the final stages of
their journeys. Also, we would like to acknowledge and express special
gratitude to Barbara Hayward, Susan and Paul for the time they spent
with Mom over her last months.
Cremation has taken place and there will be no service at
Mom’s request. Occasionally she questioned the existence of
God and had more of a belief in something than not, but she did not
want a service where people would come in and look at her and say,
«They did a fine job doing her up. She looks good.» Instead,
connect with someone you haven’t seen in a while, talk to
that stranger who looks lonely, or do as she was quick to do in the
70’s or early 80’s and consent to organ donation.
Donations to South Shore Palliative Care, the Bridgewater Service
Centre of the Canadian Red Cross, or Doctors Without
