Linda "Janie" Jane Thompson

February 9, 1943 — April 16, 2026

It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved
mother, who departed this world in Morgantown, KY on April 16, 2026, after a courageous
and lengthy battle with Alzheimer's disease. Born on February 9, 1943, in Hackettstown,
New Jersey, she graced this world with her presence for 83 beautiful years, leaving behind a
legacy of love, kindness, and resilience.

The cherished daughter of Hurbert and Lucille Ackerman, she was a guiding light to her
family and friends. Her early years were filled with the warmth of family bonds, alongside
her sister, Judith Ann Spangler, who predeceased her. Our mother was a testament to the
strength and nurturing spirit that defined her upbringing.

Her life was a tapestry of cherished memories and selfless acts of love. As a mother, she
was our confidante, our pillar of strength, and our greatest supporter. Her laughter was
infectious, her wisdom boundless, and her love unconditional. She taught us the true
meaning of compassion and the importance of kindness to all.

She leaves behind her beloved daughter, Lucinda Gallagher as well as her loving son, Richard
Haggan, and his wife, Noelia, who were endlessly devoted to her care and well-being. Her
legacy lives on in the hearts of those she touched, resonating through the lives of her
children and everyone fortunate enough to have been graced by her presence.
Though our grief is profound, we find solace in knowing she is now at peace, reunited with
her parents and sister in eternal rest. Her life was a testament to love and resilience, her
memory a cherished beacon guiding us through life's journey.
Our mother, though no longer with us in body, will forever remain in our hearts, her spirit a
guiding light in our lives. Rest in peace, dear mother; your love will forever embrace us.
