She loved to work in her garden till just before she took pneumonia which resulted in her death. Death registration 029274 Archives of Ontario microfilm MS935 reel 328. Died on Lot 1 Concession 8, South Orillia. Died from old age and pleuro pneumonia under the care of Dr. J.N. Harvie. Her Will, dated December 8, 1915 with a Codicil dated March 1920 and a second Codicil dated March 17, 1922 was filed for probate application 12222 on Feb 27, 1926 by Executors Archibald Thomson, David E. Thomson and Jennette Casey. (Archives of Ontario microfilm MS1411). She left an estate worth $5,279.30 which was distributed as detailed in her will. The brick dwelling house and surrounding property went to John Allan Thomson with Simon Gray having the right to use the front drawing room and hall and two front bedrooms on the second floor. The daughters had the right to camp on the lakeshore for one to two months a year. If Simon survived John Allan, the house and property was to go to him and he was to pass it on to Archibald Thomson, son of Grant Thomson. The rest of the estate was divided up amongst the surviving children in too lengthy a way to record here.
