Mrs. Carol Ann Brumpton (née Lymburner), age 78, resident of Henry Street in Thunder Bay, passed away with her family by her side on January 7, 2024.
Carol Ann is survived by her spouse of 55 years, Gregory Brumpton, her children, Aaron Brumpton (Rupinder Johal), and Grant Brumpton (Alana Rentz) and grandchildren Harry, Maia, Kate, and Claire, niece Heather Jesik and nephew Brian Lymburner. She was predeceased by her parents Zelma and Fred Lymburner and her brother Paul Lymburner.
Born and raised in Port Colborne, Ontario, she graduated from Western University and taught high school for several years in Windsor where she met Greg. Shortly after they married, they moved to Thunder Bay. She stayed at home to parent their sons, to whom she imparted her love of nature’s seasonal wonders. She later obtained an Associate Diploma for Piano, taught many talented piano students, and served as president of the Ontario Registered Music Teachers' Association.
Carol Ann was a leader and active participant in the community. She was a member of the Lakehead Unitarian Fellowship and served as president. At the Thunder Bay Regional Hospital, she volunteered with patients and contributed to the Patient and Family Advisors Group. She was a long-time supporter of the Thunder Bay Symphony Orchestra.
Carol Ann touched so many lives with her friendship and acts of kindness. Until her final days, she distinguished herself in our hearts by delivering countless cards and letters, containing sincere messages of support, written in her beautiful cursive style.
Cremation has taken place.
A celebration of life will take place May 18, 2024 at the Valhalla Inn beginning at 11:00am.
