Thora leaves to mourn, Marshall Hudson Butcher, her beloved husband of 57 years; children, Nancy (Doug) of Tsawwassen, William (Lorraine) of Maple Ridge, and John (Tracy) of Ladner; grandchildren, Connie (Justin), Tami (Jake), Marilyn (James), and Emily; great grandchildren Taylor, Libby and Jayden; long time friends Ann Sawatsky, and Donna and Barry Hope, and many other family members and friends.
She was predeceased by her father, John Comyn Ching; mother, Ann Posthuma; stepfather, Ype Postuma; and sister, Barbara Parks.
Thora was a long term employee of the Richmond School Board and spent many years as a realtor, also in Richmond.
Her main interest and the joy of her life was her family. Thora also enjoyed Highland Games, sewing with her daughter, cooking for her family, and wonderful holidays with the love of her life, Marshall.
In keeping with Thora’s wishes, there will be no service. Please consider a donation in her memory to a cancer organization of your choosing.
