Passed suddenly at home on Tuesday, January 20, 2026 at the age of 90. Beloved wife of the late Gerald Thompson (1996) for 40 years. Cherished mother of Judy and Terry Morgan, Bev and Kris Thompson, Lori Thompson, Cathy Thompson, and Darryl and Tammy Thompson. Adored grandma of Melissa and Brian; Shawn, Jason and Cayley; and Matt and great-grandma of Lexi, Mikaila; Abigail; Logan, Skyler; Chase, and Harper.

Predeceased by her son Jerry Thompson, grandson Mark Morgan, brother Allan Lewis, siblings-in-law Mary and Gerry Bernardo, and Vince Thompson, parents Stanley and Jessie (Morley) Lewis and parents-in-law William and Eileen (O’Rouke) Thompson.
Helen’s greatest love was her family. She spent many years working on the farm, always caring for more than just those closest to her.

Helen loved to travel with her close group of girlfriends and was well known for her wonderful baking, which she happily shared with family and friends. She enjoyed playing cards and Scrabble and never missed the chance to cheer on her grandchildren at their sporting events, especially racing.

Brenda Morgan
Judy, I know it must feel like you have not only lost your Mom, but your best friend as well.. Someone who has guided you, supported you, and was one of the first people to show you how to love deeply and unconditionally. I see your Mom in you in so many ways, your smile, the way you engage with others,, your entire personality is a testament to your mom. As much as you were proud to call her your Mom, she was equally as proud of you. I know her loss is going to leave an inexpressible hole in your heart Judy. It is going to be hard to get used to that emptiness, and the void her passing has left. Praying for you and the rest of your family, for the strength and tenacity you will need, to help you get through this extremely emotional time. Hugs …
