She was born on April 16, 1915, in Patrick County, Va., to the late Charles and Martha Dickerson. She was a long-time resident of Floyd, Va., until May, 2004, when she entered Wheatland Assisted Living in Radford, Va. In August 2006, she was moved to Kingswood Rehab & Nursing Center in Aberdeen, N.C., to be near her daughter and son-in-law, Carole T. and Leonard Barnard.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Clayborn McCoy Thompson; her son, Ronald James Thompson; and great-granddaughter, Jessica Mychael Danieley.

Thompson, of Christiansburg, Va.; granddaughter, Deborah and husband, Michael Danieley, of Radford, Va.; granddaughter, Sherri and husband, Jody Vaughan, of Radford, Va.; five great-grandchildren, Matthew, Nathan and Laura Grace Vaughn, and Kelsey and Tyler Danieley, of Radford, Va.; one sister, Claudia Nancy Sirois, of Toronto, Canada; and numerous nieces, nephews, as well as great-nieces and great-nephews.

She was an avid gardener and always had a vegetable garden and flower garden until her health failed at age 89. She was especially known for her beautiful quilts which are treasured by her immediate family and many that were purchased by persons who admired her talent.
