Edith Thompson

It is with heavy heart that the family of Edith J. Thompson announce her unexpected passing on Sunday, November 24, 2024 at the Saint John Regional Hospital surrounded by her loving family. Born in Elmsville NB, Edith was the daughter of the late Roy Sr. and Hester (Craig) Hall. She was the beloved wife of 61 years to Gerald (Jerry) Thompson.

Edith was the heart and soul of her family and will be dearly missed by all who loved her. Left to mourn, along with her husband Jerry are her sons Mark (Kelly), Wade (Shelly) and Christoper (Charla), her grandchildren Brandon (Jessica), Jordan (Laura) and Tanner (Jennifer), great-grandchild Ezra, her brother Roy Hall Jr, her sisters Karen (Ian) Webb, Anne (Claude) LaBerge, Berla Hall (Kevin), her special sister in laws Sheryl, Jeanine and Joanne, along with several nieces, nephew, cousins and treasured friends. In addition to her parents, Edith was predeceased by her brothers Keith and Lewis, and her sister Donna.

Edith was a social butterfly who enjoyed meeting new people and connecting with her lifelong friends. She cherished her many outings with her Red Hatter group and often talked about the many adventures they had. She was blessed to have a close relationship with her sisters and they spoke to each other everyday no matter how far apart. Edith and Jerry were fortunate to spend their retirement for several winters in the Florida sun. Unsurprisingly, they cultivated a family in their home away from home.

Prior to her retirement, Edith valued her many years working with Coastal Transport for the summer on the Grand Manan ferry. She felt a great connection to Grand Manan and enjoyed her conversations with passengers from around the world. Above all else, Edith adored family. She was a proud mother and embraced her title of Nana. She will be greatly missed by all the hearts she touched and will never be forgotten.

Resting at the St George Funeral Home and Crematorium Ltd. (755-3533) 26 Portage Street, St George NB from where the service will be held on Thursday at 2pm from the funeral home chapel with Pastor Greg Card officiating followed by interment in the St George Rural Cemetery. Visiting on Wednesday from 2-4 and 6-8pm. In Edith’s memory donations to a charity of the doners choice would be appreciated by the family.
