Ellen Thomson 100 Years Young December 18, 1918 – April 20, 2019

Ellen was a resident of The Village of Cameron for 15 years. However, she was so much more than that. She was everyone’s friend, both other residents as well as employees. She was sweet, kind, thoughtful and truly cared about each and every person. She always remembered what was going on in each person’s life. She knew the names of your family and kept up with what they were doing all the time. If you ever needed anything and Ellen knew about it, she was the first to come up with a solution and to help out. She liked to keep busy. You would always see Ellen in the halls visiting, putting puzzles together, but most of all smiling. She always had such a sweet smile. She will forever be missed by us all and will forever have a very special place in our hearts.
