Example – Obituary for a Husband

James “Jim” Thompson, 80, beloved husband, father, and grandfather, passed away on March 15, 2024, with his wife of 55 years at his side. Jim married Margaret in 1968, and together they raised three children and built a home full of laughter. A skilled carpenter and devoted Red Sox fan, Jim could fix anything and never missed a family dinner. He is survived by his loving wife, Margaret; their three children; and eight grandchildren. A celebration of his life will be held March 20 at St. Mary’s Church.
