ISABEL THOMSON (nee DUNCAN) It is with deep sadness we announce the sudden passing of our dear Mom and Grandma on Sunday, August 19, 2007, at the age of 88, at her cottage in Grand Beach, MB. Mom leaves to cherish her memory her two sons, Robert (Joan) and Neil (Jo-Ann), as well as her grandchildren, Caelan, Duncan, Brody, Quinn, Kelli and Riley. Also her sister-in-law Jean Muir, niece Dianne Carswell, nephew Doug Muir and their children, Laura and Daniel as well as longtime friend Marge Lopushansky. Mom was predeceased by her husband Robert (Red) Thomson in 1980. Mom was very proud to be born, go to school and live all her life in Elmwood. She was an incredible athlete playing 17 years of senior basketball and 15 years of senior softball. In May of this year, she was inducted into the Manitoba Softball Hall of Fame. She worked as an accountant for Elmwood Cemetery up until her son Robert was born. She was a board member at Kelvin Community Club for many years while her children were growing up and was saddened by its closing earlier this spring. The cottage at Grand Beach has been in mom's family since the 1920s and she loved going there with her parents and then with her own children and grandchildren every summer since. We love you Mom and Grandma. We will miss you forever.
