Obituary of GAIL ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Gail Elizabeth Thompson, 84 years of age, of Winnipeg, passed away on Monday, February 10 at Seven Oaks General Hospital.

Gail was born on January 24, 1941 in Winnipeg to Morfydd (Mulvey) and Jack Cunningham. 

Gail was known for many wonderful things but was probably most famous for her love of all people. She always had a kind word for anyone she crossed paths with and was always willing to help, a quality she instilled in all of us around her. She deeply valued her family, and will be remembered for her love, sense of humor and her “willful” nature that would put any bull to shame. Her co-workers at the Winnipeg Free Press, where she worked for over 30 years, will likely remember.

She is survived by her two sons, Sean and Ryan and her beloved granddaughters, Hunter and Maya, her daughters-in-law Akiko and Heather as well as her sister Judy Turner, nephew, Tim Bremaud and two nieces, Riley Bremaud and Cheryl Savage and many beloved friends and extended family. She was preceded in death by her loving husband James Baran Davidson Thompson and her sisters Maureen “Aunty Moe” Grigat, Lynne Bremaud, Barbara Savage and her brother John Cunningham.

A memorial service will be held on Friday, February 14 at 1:00 PM at Cropo Funeral, 1442 Main St. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to Canadian Cancer Society.

No child ever had a more loving mother. No one ever had a friend with a bigger heart.
