We were saddened to hear of Nancys passing. What a lovely write up in the Mercury. Our hearts and hugs go out to you Stuart and Family. She was so loving and kind. Dave has such fond memories of both her and Bill while growing up in Marathon. I always treasured seeing them both out shopping or just a quick hello from down the street. She was truly a shining spirit inside and out and we were lucky enough to be on the receiving end of those hugs. All our love and deepest respect..,They sent an angel to walk amongst us.

Our deepest sympathy to the Thomson family. Aunty Nancy always had a smile and kind word and gave the best hugs. We will miss her.
We remember Nancy as a happy, compassionate member of the Marathon Coffee Club. She was full of fun stories about the old family dog Candy, her work at the bank, the store she and Bill ran in Southern Ontario, her love of horse racing and teaching her grandsons Trevor and Phillip to play poker.
We loved sharing holiday dinners and celebrations with Nancy and Bill, and were honoured to be treated as family by the Thomson’s in Marathon.
We celebrate Nancy’s life and mourn her loss. We hope the happy memories of who she was consoles her family at this time.
As Nancy would do, we are sending big, heart felt hugs to Bill, Trevor, Phil, Allison, Fiona, Stuart, Nancy, Doug, Margaret and all the rest of Nancy’s grandchildren, great grandchildren, family and her family of friends.
She will always be loved.
