NANA (THOMPSON) WASHBURN

BRISTOL — Nana (Thompson) Washburn passed peacefully the morning of April 24, her beloved cat by her side. She joins her husband and their pets, her parents, dear friends and family on the other side.

Born and raised in Starksboro, she enlisted in the Air Force after high school, returning home to Vermont in 1973, where she remained active in the Air National Guard until 1982.

She was the type of person that always wanted to help and cared for everyone. She was the person you could always count on to be there when you had a problem and share the joys when you didn’t. She enjoyed being the volunteer coordinator for rides to the VA Hospital in White River Junction for several years. But her favorite thing in the world was being a grandmother to her grandkids.

She is survived by her daughter and grandsons, brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family and all the friends that became family. She will be sorely missed by all.

A memorial service and celebration of life will be held at a later date. If you would like to reach out or share your stories of Nana, you can email [email protected].

If you feel inclined to do so, please make donations to Bristol Rescue Squad as they and all Bristol Emergency Services are a group of wonderful people that were always there for her.

Always remember to hold your loved ones close, and make sure they know they are loved for you never know what tomorrow will bring. ◊
