Ava Thompson Obituary

Ava was a sophomore at Boulder High where she participated in the Boulder High mountain bike team and played on the district women's lacrosse team, which was hosted at Fairview High School. Ava was an avid animal lover who helped to foster over 100 puppies and 4 kittens for Rocky Mountain Puppy Rescue. She was proud to have earned her driver's license over the summer and to have her first part-time job as a checker at the Gunbarrel King Soopers. Ava is survived by her parents, Kris and Amy Thompson of Boulder and her brother Blake, who is a student at Western Washington University. A Celebration of Life will take place on February 26th at 1:00 at the Boulder JCC.

Peggy and I remember Ava in our preschool at Lafayette Elementary. She was always shy and smiling and smiling a lot more when she was talking about Brett or listening to someone else talk about Brett. She loved animals and was so good with them too. We have some pictures from preschool . We are sad for you three. Kathy Morson
