It is with heavy hearts we share with you the passing of Linda J. Thompson; mom, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend; on July 2, 2023 in her 76th year at the Hotel-Dieu Grace Healthcare, Windsor, Ontario after a short but brave battle with cancer.
Linda was the daughter of the late Aldege and Violet Spooner and fondly remembered by her son Steven Plastino , grandsons Micheal and Matthew Plastino, daughter Cari-Lin Thurlow (Rod), granddaughters Brook-Lin (Nick), Kelly, and Taylor Thurlow, sister Florence (Bev) and half brother Bob Dawson (Jackie). Special aunt to Trudy (Ron), Steven (John), and Danny (Cori) Thompson, and many other nieces and nephews. Pre-deceased by half brothers Calvin and Gerald Dawson.
Linda was comforted by how her family came together to support one another and help care for her during the last several months. Donations in her honor/memory can be made to Transition to Betterness (T2B) (Click Here) . The care and comfort from this organization was very much appreciated and supportive while Linda was in hospice.
As Linda’s beloved dog Maggie lay by her side, we said our goodbyes and she peacefully moved on towards her next adventure.

Marie, ON P6A 5K8 (near post R46, L21 or the chapel if raining), for an internment ceremony at 1:00.

While she had been living in Windsor, Ontario for the past 10 years, home has always been the Soo. Linda was proud of her northern roots. In her youth she was one of the first members of the Bandettes, and a graduate of Bawating Highschool. Later in life she was an active member of the Chamber of Commerce as a business woman and entrepreneur. In Windsor, she spent time as a volunteer with Hospice. Linda also loved to travel and met many wonderful people around the world. We invite all who were part of her life journey to come and reminisce with us as we celebrate her life.
“There’s only one place I want to go and it’s to all the places I’ve never been” - Nikki Rowe
“God saw you getting tired
when a cure was not to be.
So He closed His arms
around you and whispered ,
“Come to me”.
You didn’t deserve what
what you went through,
so He gave you rest.
God’s garden must be beautiful,
He only takes the best.
And when we saw you sleeping
so peaceful and free from pain,
we could not wish you back
to suffer that again.”
