Leanne Thompson, 75, of Williamsburg, went to be with the Lord Thursday, July 11, 2019.
Leanne truly loved Jesus. She lived this love daily by serving others selflessly and without measure. Every person felt seen and special in her presence. Her greatest joy was spending time with children, with whom she felt most herself. She found delight and solace in God’s creation. She loved her family deeply and leaves both an immeasurable void and profound legacy.
She is survived by her husband, Catholic deacon and retired U.S. Army Col. Robert “Tommy” Thompson. They celebrated 51 years of marriage in March. She is the mother of four children, Susie Robinson (Adam PO1 USN), Matt Thompson (Jennifer), John Thompson CSM USA (Lori) and Abby Ellis (Todd). She is also survived by 16 beautiful grandchildren; and one (brand new) great-granddaughter.
Visitation will be held from 6 to 8 p.m., Tuesday, July 16, at St. Olaf Catholic Church, 104 Norge Lane, Williamsburg, and will conclude with a brief prayer service at 8 p.m. A funeral Mass will be held at noon, Wednesday, July 17, at the church with a reception to follow.
