Carol Ann (Davies) Thompson

Carol Ann Thompson, passed away on February 4th, 2025 at the age of 64 in Toronto after complications from an aneurysm — a devastating loss of a mother, aunt, sister, and friend. She was a curious and caring woman, who loved her family, friends, pets, and church community dearly.

Born December 28, 1960 to Melville and Pauline Davies, she was the youngest of four children — sister to Robert, Helen, and Dianne. She spoke fondly of her youth spent on the water, helping at her parents’ business Twin Spruce Villa in Rosedale, Ontario. Her strong mechanical skills lent well to maintaining cottages, fixing engines, and delivering boats. She loved the seasons; boating in the summer and running the trails in winter, even modelling for Ski-Doo.

Spouse of Steve Thompson for 20 years and a supportive and caring mother, she devoted her time to looking after her children and any friends that came along with them, stocking all the favourite snacks, driving to choir practice or the pool, and would provide a listening ear or shoulder to cry on at any hour.

Most of all, she loved spending time with her children Brett, Angie, Laura, their partners Patty, Rob, Karol and all of her “grand-pets”. She was always excited to host holiday gatherings and meals for the family — though she was known to turn her thermostat up so high, it could literally cook a turkey.

Her Christian faith was very important to her, and in her later years, she spent much of her time supporting her church community. She formed strong bonds with her friends, treating them as she would her family. She loved to spend time chatting over walks, cups of tea, and camping in the summers. Unwaveringly supportive, she never missed an opportunity to help, or listen.

She passed just steps away from Massey Hall, a theatre her great grandfather Robert Davies provided bricks to build. A trip to Toronto would not be complete without a telling of such a legacy, and was yet another testament to how proud she was of her family.

She will be remembered by the glee filled trill of goldfinches at the bird feeder, a hum along to her favourite songs, and windswept pines above the shoreline.
