Wilford Ragon Thompson
b. 8 Sep 1935
d. 27 Jan 2007
W. Ragon Thompson, M. D., a true southern gentleman, gardener, skier, and world traveler died on January 26, 2007, at the age of 71 after a long struggle with Alzheimer's. He was born on September 8, 1935, in Clarksville, Arkansas, to Anna Augusta Ragon Thompson and Roger Leon (Buster) Thompson. His parents, his sister, Luanne Thompson, and his sister-in-law, Jan Thompson, preceded him in death.
He is survived by his brother, Byron Alfred Thompson, and niece, Anna Beth Thompson of Springdale, Arkansas, his aunt, Mary Johnson of Clarksville, Arkansas, his cousins, Kay Nevins of Searcy, Arkansas, Rosemary Dyke of Little Rock, Arkansas, Lee Ragon of Denver, Colorado, his foster daughter, Madonna Stewart and her brothers and sisters and their families.
At the age of 17 Dr. Thompson entered the University of the Ozarks in Clarksville. Upon earning his undergraduate degree in 1956 he went on to medical school at the University of Arkansas in Little Rock. After graduation from medical school he came to Albuquerque where he did an internship at the University of New Mexico Medical School. He completed a residency in 1968 at the University of Arkansas in Little Rock in Obstetrics and Gynecology, which became his specialty for the rest of his medical career. He served in the United States Air Force as a Captain from 1963 to 1965. In 1968 he returned to Albuquerque where he worked at Lovelace Clinic and in 1977 he entered private practice with his friend and colleague Scott Taylor M. D. until he retired from medicine in 1986. He then moved to Ouray, Colorado where he owned two art galleries and became an excellent picture framer. In 2002 he returned to Albuquerque so he could be surrounded by loving friends who would help him through his final journey.
Memorial service will be at the First Presbyterian Church, Clarksville, Arkansas at 2:00 PM Saturday, February 10. Burial will be at Oakland Cemetery, Clarksville. Arrangements by Hardwicke Funeral Home.
