Obituary of Lynda Maxine Thompson
Lynda Maxine Thompson passed away at the Sussex Health Centre with her family by her side on August 19, 2018 at the age of 73.
Less than three weeks after finding out she had lung cancer, she is gone. That was her FU to cancer and we wouldn't want it any other way. She would not want us to see her suffering.
She had a little dollhouse of an apartment filled to the brim with all her "stuff" that meant the world to her, and also anything you may need in case of the apocalypse. We fondly referred to it as the war bunker. If she didn't have it, it probably didn't exist. And gadget, OMG at all the gadgets. If it was as advertised on TV and it was an easier, better way to cook an egg, bake a meatloaf or scrub a floor, she had it. And regardless of what you told her, she always said "I read that in the paper"
She was a mother, grandmother and great grandmother, aunt, sister and friend.
She was born in
She leaves behind a somewhat crazy and dysfunctional family that she loved with every breath in her body.
She had little patience with those that lacked common sense, of which, in her opinion, there were many. She always told the truth whether you asked for it or not. She loved being right and would go to any lengths necessary to prove she was. Anyone that knew her can attest to that. She loved four letter words as much as she loved her grandchildren and trust us when we say she LOVED her grandchildren. The "F" Word was her personal favorite and she used it as a verb, noun, adjective and an adverb; well you get the idea. It was one of the last words she said, other than "I Love You" and boy did she love us. She told us and showed us each and every day.
She was our biggest cheerleader, our staunchest supporter and we wouldn't be us without her. She will never be gone because she will live on in all of us and those she left a huge mark on. We loved being her children, she was one hell of a mom and one f'ing amazing
She will be sorely missed and is survived by her children: Owen and Kim and her husband Harold; her grandchildren: Brandon and his wife Ashlyn and Beckett (lovingly referred to as "Mr. B" in a silly voice), Brianna and her husband Jeremie and Dawson (lovingly referred to as "Awesome, Possum Dawson, The Mayor of Scouduc" in the same silly voice.); her brothers: Aulay and his wife Barb, Lyman and his wife Patty, Donald and his wife Jackie, Jimmy and Tom; and by her sister and best friend, Joan Morris and her husband Larry; as well as many nieces, nephews and friends (especially those from 19 Golding St, fondly referred to as Wisteria Lane, Linda and Anita had a special place in her heart.)
She is predeceased by her father, Emerson (Daddy), her mother, Joyce (Mama); her daughter, Tracey; her son, Blaine; her brothers: Peter and Bobby and by her sisters: Phyllis and Gwennie.
We will never forget her huge capacity for love, her humour, her "come out of the jello tree" attitude, her sweet and silly sides and how much she loved and cared for each and every one of us.
We are certain she is giving one final... one finger salute.
