Thompson

She was born Jan. 20, 1923, in Douglas, Ga., to Clarence C. and Missouri (Cady) Parrish. On March 2, 1946, Ann was united in marriage to Theodore S. Thompson in Columbus, Ga. Upon her husband’s discharge from the Armed Services in June 1946, the couple moved to Minneapolis, Minn., where they lived while he attended the University Of Minnesota School Of Dentistry. In 1952, they moved to Austin where they made their home until her death. For many years, Ann was actively involved with the Red Cross Bloodmobile, the Dental Auxiliary, and a number of organizations at St. Olaf Lutheran Church in Austin. She especially enjoyed teaching Sunday school and Vacation Bible School. Ann treasured the opportunity to be a member of the needlepoint group that made the paraments, stoles, and kneelers for the church. Her favorite hobbies were cooking, gardening, needlework, oil painting, and making lefse. At the center of her life was the love she had for her family.

Survivors include her son Tom (Marcia) Thompson, of Elko, Minn.; and their children Steven (Kate), Suzanne, and David; her daughter Pam (Dr. Larry) Kreuger, of Dayton, Minn.; and their children Paul and Lauren; great-grandchildren Logan and Connor Thompson; sister-in-law Kathryn Parrish, of Lake Park, Ga; several nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents Clarence and Missouri Parrish; her husband Theodore Thompson; her sisters Lucille Parrish, LaTrelle (Luther) Gregory, and Mildred (Floyd) Holton; two brothers, Frank Parrish and Oswald (Frances) Parrish.
