Elizabeth 'Betty' Anne nee: Vick Thompson, loving wife mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend passed away on August 26, 2015.

A North Dakota resident for most of her life, grew up the oldest of nine on a ranch in Banks. She taught one-room school and first grade before having children and was a Title reading teacher before retiring. During World War II, she worked for Boeing in Seattle with her sister Doris. Betty instilled a love of reading, cooking, sewing, knitting, traveling, and Scrabble playing in her daughters and grandchildren.
She is survived by her loving husband of almost 69 years, Harvey; daughters Joan Thompson (Drew Hamre) and Margaret Appelgren (Randy); grandchildren Justin, Kristen Trippe (Ryan), Leah Johnson (Matt), Paul, and Claire; and two great-grand- children Wesley and Miles. She is also survived by her siblings Kenny (Ruth), Margaret (Dallas), and David (Joan), as well as many nieces and nephews.
