She leaves behind her husband of 47 years, Dr. H.B. Thompson; mother, Virginia Boone; sister, Ginnye Capps; nephew, Scott Capps (Paige); great-nieces, Haley, Camryn; sister-in-law, Shirley Deese.
Connie was an Eastern Airlines flight attendant when she and H.B. met. Later, their chosen daughter, Tamara, was added to the family along with pets, Chi Chi, Nestle, Zoe, Maddie, Sam and Pepper. Connie was a wonderful wife, mother, daughter and sister and past president of University of Alabama Alumni Association of Etowah County. She received a B.A. degree in Social Work, magna cum laude, from West Virginia University.
Connie was blessed to have great friends, and especially those near the end of her life, Crystal, Michelle, Alacare Home Health and Hospice. We also wish to thank Betty, who worked with and for Connie for years.
A private memorial service will be held for Connie.
Her favorite charities are Salvation Army and St. Jude Children's Hospital. Feel free to donate in her honor.

I am so sorry to hear of Miss Connie's passing. She was such a lovely person inside and out, always so impeccably dressed and stylish and always with a kind word for everyone. She was a wonderful Mom to Tamara and I so enjoyed spending time with her when we'd all go out to lunch and shopping, or have a sleepover in Gadsden.
Much love and peace to you, H.B.

H.B. and all, I am deeply saddened to learn of Connie's passing. We were former neighbors on Hartwood Drive years ago, and I remember Connie as so likable and friendly. Our daughter, Elaine, used to babysit Tamara. Had I known of Connie's illness, I would have been in touch with cards of caring and encouragement. I am so sorry I did not know. My heartfelt sympathy is with you. God bless you with His love and give you strength and comfort in the days ahead. Sincerely, Briana Harden
