Linda Kay Thompson, 65, of Hamilton, MI passed away Wednesday, June 17, 2020 at her home surrounded by loved ones. Born September 29, 1954 in Allegan, she was the daughter of the late Howard and Violet Marie (Brenner) Truax, Jr. and was the wife of Kenneth Thompson. Linda was an avid gardener who also loved crafting of any kind. She also liked to go mushroom hunting every year. Linda was a fan of horse racing, though mostly because she enjoyed throwing derby parties! She was a huge fan of Wizard of Oz and had amassed quite a collection of memorabilia over the years. Linda always looked out for the needs of others before she took care of herself. Her kindness and generosity were felt by many, but especially by her children and grandchildren. She was a supportive and loving mother and grandmother and will be greatly missed.

Thompson, Terrance Hightower and Brody Nyhoff; nephew, Little Ronnie and Tara Truax; several stepbrothers and stepsisters; and a host of nieces, nephews and dear friends.
