Merlin Adeline Thompson, age 71, of Toronto, Ontario passed away peacefully on Sunday, July 31, 2022. Merlin was born August 27, 1950 in Trinidad to the late Mildred Thompson.

Merlin loved big family dinners, playing cards/games, and she always had a smile on her face. She was a generous soul, and she cherished spending time with her family. There’s so much more about her that not even words can describe. Her infectious smile, dedication and generosity will be greatly missed by her family and friends. We were very lucky to be able to spend her remaining time together, talking about the good times.
The family appreciates all of your prayers and kind gestures during this difficult time.
