Margaret White Thomson (nee Findlay)
October 15, 1943 – August 12, 2023
It is with profound sadness that the family of Margaret Thomson announce her passing on August 12th, 2023 at the age of 79.
Margaret will remain present and lovingly remembered in the hearts of her entire family and many friends. She is survived by her son, Todd Thomson, daughter, Leanne (Gary) Leonard; sisters, Helen (Chris) Christou, Catherine (late Floyd) Kay; and brother-in-law, Dan (late Maureen) Martin. Margaret was the proud grandmother/nana of Jordan (Jesse) Sulmona, Jessey Leonard (Kaitlin), and Bailey Thomson (Faith); and loving great nana of Oliver Sulmona. She was adored and cherished by several nieces and nephews, and will be dearly missed by long-time family friend, John Burke. Margaret is pre-deceased by her parents, Tom and Alice Findlay, and sister Maureen Martin.
Margaret was born in Dumbarton, Scotland on October 15th, 1943 and immigrated to Toronto ON in 1948. After marrying she settled in Barrie, ON in 1973 where she continued what would be nearly a 50-year successful career in the finance industry.
An inspiring example of a true kindred spirit, Margaret was fulfilled by her immense love of family, friends, and home. She cherished the simple pleasures of holiday traditions, gardening, birds, family pets, and old movies. Margaret supported several charities and was a member of the St John Vianney Catholic Women's League for several years.
