Thompson, Verna Kathleen (nee Owen)
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Verna Kathleen Thompson (nee Owen) who left us peacefully on May 31, 2025 at the age of 88. Verna’s Family extends its heartfelt thanks to the wonderful Staff of the Carleton Place & Memorial District Hospital and the Carleton Place Terrace Retirement Home – both in Carleton Place, Ontario for their outstanding care and support.
Verna was born on October 2, 1936 the daughter of Thomas Richard Owen and the former Edna Grace Banner in Prescott, Ontario. Following a move to Montreal in the early 1950’s she met the love of her life, Benjamin Harold Thompson, a recent immigrant from Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, England. Verna became Ben’s beloved wife on May 31, 1958 and in time the cherished mother of Mandy (Steve) and Heidi (Lonnie). She was also a loving and devoted ‘Nana’ to Meghan, Mathew (Kate), Kaelan, Geordan (Novena), Gracelyn (Nattas), Serena, Jessica (Joey) and Jaymee, also great-grandmother to Landon, Harley, and Kolton.
Verna worked at her Uncle Bill’s Farm in Weir, Quebec prior to starting a career with Bell Telephone but in time she determined that being a stay-at-home Mom was the role she most coveted. Verna was a loving and supportive wife, mother, grandmother, sister, friend, and neighbor who was full of life, love, and laughter, which she shared with everyone she knew. Although she often seemed quiet and reserved, she possessed a remarkable tenacity and strength that shone through in all of her close relationships. Her beauty radiated from within, and she had an exceptional ability to make friends, even if she sometimes doubted it herself. Her unconditional love, warmth and unwavering commitment to those she cared for will be fondly remembered and treasured by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
Verna was predeceased by her loving husband Ben in 2000, and her sister Fay Waren (nee Owen) in 2016. She is survived by Marilyn (Tyrone) and brothers Gary (late Mary) and Gordon (Jody), as well as many nieces and nephews. She also leaves behind her honorary nephew Colin Kidd of Brockville, Ontario, her pen pal of 80 years, Annette of Sydney, Australia, her dear friend Gael and neighbors of many years, Inga, and Lynda.
A Memorial service will be held at MacKay Funeral Home, Prescott, Ontario on June 11, 2025 at 2pm, where friends and family will be invited to celebrate Verna’s life and share their memories.
