Judy Thompson
Judy Thompson, aged 83, passed away peacefully in her home in Apollo Beach, FL, on Jan. 26, 2024.

Judy was born in Clearwater, FL, and was proud to be a Florida native. She was an X-ray technician for over 40 years. After her retirement, she spent her time volunteering at Tampa General Hospital, hospice and the Ruskin Elk’s Club. Judy also enjoyed being a member of the Ruskin Women’s Club for many years.

She is survived by her son, Michael Thompson; daughters, Niki Thompson Pennington and Shelby Thompson Crews; and her grandchildren, Vince Pennington and Kelly Pennington. Judy was preceded in death by her husband of 52 years, J. Vince Thompson; her sister, Shelby Allen Bright; and her parents, Ruth Baker Allen and Ralph “Buster” Allen. Although our hearts are heavy, and we will miss her sweet smile, Judy would say “I’m fine, I was blessed with a wonderful family, and I am finally reunited with the love of my life.”

The family is hosting a Celebration of Life on Saturday, Feb. 3, at 2 p.m., at St. John the Divine Episcopal Church, 1015 East Del Webb Blvd., Sun City, FL 33573. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to LifePath Hospice in Sun City Center.
<h3>Hannes Paul Hannesson
Feb. 24, 1930 - Jan. 8, 2024</h3>
<img class="wp-image-40052 size-thumbnail alignleft" src="/assets/images/uploads/wp/2024/01/Hannes-Paul-Hannesson-e1706734511251-107x150.jpg" alt="" width="107" height="150" />He is preceded in death by his parents, Hannes Sveinsson and Johanna Petursdottir, and sister, Ingibjorg. He is survived by sisters Erla and Sigridur and many nieces and nephews.

Paul was born and raised in Reykjavik. After finishing school, he went to work at the Keflavik Airport fire department. In 1957 he moved to the USA, traveling and working as a photographer. Music always being a passion of his, he never left home without his harmonica.

Paul moved to Sun City Center, Florida, in 2013, joining many social groups. He loved playing cards, bingo and, of course, the harmonica club, which his future wife, Carol Hall, was in charge of. They married in 2014.
They stayed busy during their time together, after moving into Sun Towers. Carol passed away in April 2019.
Celebration of Paul’s life will be held later this year in New York State where he will be buried next to his wife.
