July 8, 1991 – April 24, 2022
Rikki passed away at St. Boniface Hospital holding hands with her foster mom, Linda. Gene and Linda Thompson were privileged to be her family since March 2, 2000. She is survived by them and her siblings Aryus Thompson, Jesse Brown, Kerry Hanson and Kelly Hanson, two foster siblings and aunt Marie Hubka, who was an important part of Rikki’s childhood. She was predeceased by her long-time foster brother and best friend Derek Robinson and her aunt and caregiver, Roleen Girouard (Charlie). Rikki’s biological family loved her very much. She is survived by her mother Glenda Peebles, brother Dwayne and sisters Hillary, Georgia and Izzy.
Rikki will be missed by her friends and caregivers at her day program. Over the years she was truly loved by the many special people who cared for her. Anyone who knew Rikki was quickly drawn in by her warm, joyful smile and friendly laugh. We are all better people for having known Rikki. She was a positive soul with a happy heart.
Special thanks to all her doctors and teachers and helpers over the years.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Rikki’s memory to the St. Boniface Hospital.

Linda and Family and my dear friend Glenda, I am so so sorry for your loss of Beautiful Rikki.
I had the pleasure of meeting Rikki many times at both Marie’s and Linda’s homes. It was an understatement that Rikki had the biggest smile, she lit up the whole room with her huge smile.
I will remember her fondly and with a smile.
Sending you all whose hearts are broken my condolences and prayers.
