Elizabeth Anne McCully Thompson

It is with great heartache and sadness we announce the passing of our mother and sister Elizabeth (Liz) Thompson, the evening of August 26. She fought a long and hard battle for many years since the death of her husband Fred in 2008. She never complained, showed great determination, dignity, grace and sense of humour until the very end. After enduring years of pain and suffering, she was often referred to as the "poster girl" for NRGH... as not many patients have been in ICU on life support six times, and lived to talk about it. Predeceased by her brother David, Mother Lillian and Husband Fred. Survived by her three children, Fred (Angela), Laurie Armstrong (Bill), David (Wendy), her brother John (Doreen), grandchildren Brandon, Andrea, Megan and Jacob and several nieces and nephews. We would like to send special thanks for the many occasions of wonderful care while in ICU, and to all the doctors and nurses of Floor 5 and Palliative Care. Heartfelt thank you to family Dr. Janssen, and to special friend Margaret Saam, we couldn't have made it through the last night without you.

Mom will miss her daily walks at the harbour and coffee with all of her friends she loved so much.

Mom, you will be forever loved and dearly missed. Love from all your family.

Service to be held on Wed. Sept. 21st at 11:00AM
