IN MEMORIAM

Picture

Altha Constance (Wallace) Thompson
November 5, 1907  -  October 30, 1973

Altha Constance Wallace, "Connie", was born on November 5, 1907 in Santa Monica, California.  She was third daughter and fifth child born to James Carl and Viola Winifred (Smith) Wallace.

Connie was raised in Santa Monica and at age 20 was working as a dressmaker.

In April of 1930, Connie married Howard Hadden Hastings Thompson, a teller at the L.A. Gas Co.

On December 7, 1931, the couple welcomed their first child, a daughter, Lark Hastings Thompson.  Their joy was cut short as on December 8th, their precious daughter passed away.

Six years later, on March 4, 1937, Connie gave birth to their second child, Yolanda Howard Thompson.  Sadly, Yolanda died that same day.

Constance and Howard continued to live in the Santa Monica area for a time but the couple eventually divorced.

On October 30, 1973, Constance passed away in Santa Monica.
