TRAVERSE CITY RECORD EAGLE - 6 Oct. 2005 
Thelma "Jackie" Thompson
Died October 4, 2005
      FRANKFORT - Thelma "Jackie" Thompson, 87, of Frankfort, passed away 
peacefully on Oct. 4, 2005, at Paul Oliver Hospital after an extended illness. 
Thelma was born in Frankfort on May 9, 1918, the daughter of Grant and Hope 
(Keilor) Stratton.
      Jackie graduated from Frankfort High School and lived in Benzie County 
most of her life. A professional cook for many years, Jackie worked in 
restaurants and private residences. Her flair and enthusiasm for great cooking 
was only surpassed by her love of animals, especially horses. She taught riding 
lessons at Camp Crystalaire and especially enjoyed mentoring local girls in 
horsemanship. 
      After the death of her husband, John R. Thompson, in 1980, Jackie built 
her dream home - a house/barn combination on Grace Road where she could be 
close to her beloved Arabian horses.
      She is survived by sons Paul Gilroy of Wilson, Wy, Robert (Teresa) Jeffs, 
his daughters Rebecca, Darcy, Megan Jeffs, Steven (Martha) Jeffs and their son, 
Patrick and Amelia Gilroy, daughter of Greg. 
      In addition to her husband, Jackie was preceded in death by her parents 
and her brothers, Grant "Bud" Stratton, Ray "Nub" Stratton and Dale "Turp" 
Stratton, and son Greg Gilroy. 
      There will be a visitation at McElduff-Jowett Funeral Home in Benzonia at 
2 to 4 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 8, followed by a memorial service at 4 p.m. 
      Memorial contributions may be made to the Animal Welfare League, P.O. Box 
172, Frankfort, MI 49635.
