Janet K. Tebay Thompson, 91, of Hooker passed away Wednesday at the Butler VNA Inpatient Hospice.

Janet was born Aug. 10, 1925, on her grandmother's farm to the late Raymond Thomas Tebay and the late Anna Florence Cross Tebay.

Janet worked from age 16 for Dr. and Mrs. Vincent until the time of both of their passings. She also worked for many years at Butler Memorial Hospital. She was a member of the Concord Presbyterian Church for over 50 years.

Janet married Willis Thompson in 1950, and together they raised her sons, Lewis D. Morris and Robert E. Morris. Janet lived on her prized farm after Willis' passing in 1997 until shortly after her 90th birthday, at which time she moved to the Orchard. Janet looked forward to her sons visiting from Montana, so that she could spend time on her farm.

Janet's oldest son, Lewis D. Morris, preceded her in death in May 2016, at which time she made her last of many journeys to Montana.

Janet is survived by one son, Robert E. Morris and his wife, Donna Morris, of Montana, and their son, Robert B. Morris, and his two sons; an additional four grandchildren; eight great-grandchildren; one great-great-grandchild; Lewis' daughters, Terrie Kolker and Tracy Kemp, and their five children; one sister, Ethel Curry of Zelienople; and several nieces and nephews.

Janet also was preceded in death by one sister, Geraldine Webb; three brothers, DeWayne, Wilbert and William Tebay; and her friend, Herb Walters.

The family would like to give special thanks to Shelia and Lance Kauf for being such wonderful caregivers and friends as well as the nurses and staff at the Orchard. Janet was well cared for and words cannot express our gratitude.
