Stella Locker, a popular and principled fixture on council for 25 years, died April 29 at age 87
Former Mayor Tim Johnston, who served one term as a fellow councillor with Locker and two as mayor with her as one of the council members, said he always knew what she told him was what she really felt and that she was looking out for the people she worked for: the voters. “I always knew that she was representing her constituency and what she believed and I always knew that she was doing it because she felt it was in the best interest of Thompson,” said Johnston. And even though she was a fighter who refused to back down, Johnston said Locker wasn’t one to hold a grudge.
