Margaret Nancy DeLuca Thompson
September 13, 1932 – April 7, 2026
Margaret Nancy DeLuca Thompson, 93, of Brooksville, Florida, passed away peacefully at the HPH Hospice Care Center on April 7, 2026. Born in the Bronx, New York, on September 13, 1932, she was the daughter of the late Michael and Katherine DeLuca.
Margaret’s greatest pride and joy were her four children. She often shared that their births changed her life for the better, a sentiment she backed with a lifetime of unwavering love and support. Though she faced the profound loss of her husband, Carl, and her daughter, Katherine, her strength and warmth remained a guiding light for her family.
Margaret was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Carl Thompson; her daughter, Katherine A. Paino; her parents; and her brother, Bart DeLuca.
Her memory will be cherished and kept alive by those she leaves behind: Her Children: Her son, Carl M. Thompson, and daughters, Lynda A. Thompson and Margaret R. Thompson. The Next Generations: 10 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren, all of whom were blessed by her presence.
