Mary Thompson

November 14, 1924 — October 6, 2019

Wheat Ridge, CO

Mary Eleanor Louis Thompson

Mary E. Louis Thompson, 94, Wheat Ridge, CO, walked into eternity on Sunday Morning, October 6, 2019 at 7:45 am, as her daughter, Carol Jean, her daughter Mariellen, and her boyfriend, Frank bid her adieu at her residence of Wheatridge Manor in Wheat Ridge CO.

Mary was born as the third child of 12 to Henry Levy and Mary Frances in New Effington, SD, on November 14, 1924.  Her 94 plus years were filled with paths that lead to becoming an RN, finding love of her life, Orvin, and birthing 8 children, 7 of whom she raised after her husband, Orvin, preceded her in death when she was only 42.

“If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all”.  These words rang through the halls of Mary’s life, as she exemplified love for all as a sister, a wife, a mom, a grandmother, an aunt, a friend, and a leader.

Mary always honored the memory of those who preceded her in death; her husband Orvin, son David; her grandson Justin; father, Henry Levi, mother, Mary Frances; brothers, Bill, Pat, Jack, Tom and Michael; sisters Nancy, Rosie, Leah, Aggie, and Margaret.

She is survived by her brother, Frank Cuffe; seven children, Dennis, Drinda, Paulette, Carol, Tim, Orvin and Mariellen; 15 grandchildren, many great-grandchildren; many nieces and nephews, and more.
