It is with sadness, the family announces the death of Helen Kathleen Bond, age 76, of Hampton, NB, wife of the late Arthur Bond, which occurred on Thursday, February 26, 2015, at the Dr. V. A. Snow Centre, Hampton, NB. She was born on November 27, 1938, in Saint John, NB, a daughter of the late Lawrence and Hazel (Freeze) Fournier. Helen was known to family and friends for her childlike spirit. A twinkle in her eyes, a smile on her face, a hug in her heart: these were all things we came to know and love Helen for. She had a passion for teaching. Whether through life itself or through her Sunday School class, the lessons she shared moulded and shaped the lives of those she touched. She was your playmate, your comfort, your rock. She gave, expecting nothing in return. She created lasting memories that will be cherished and shared for years to come. She was beyond proud to be called "Grammy". We were beyond blessed to have known her. She was family and all it represented. Helen is survived by daughters Cathy Bradley (Alonzo) of Grove Hill, NB Elizabeth Craig (George) of Stratford, PE, Charlene Bastarache of Saint John, NB; sons Edward Bastarache of Saint John, NB, Daniel Bastarache of Saint John, NB, Robert Bastarache of Saint John, NB, Michael Bastarache (Alicia) of Saint John, NB; step daughters Cheryl Stewart (James), Millie Miller (Wesley), Zonya Russell (Bradley), Della Cole (Harold), Donna Nutter (Murray); step sons Dwight Bond (Janet), Lloyd Bond (Marilyn), Gordon Bond; 24 grandchildren; 43 great grandchildren; 1 great-great grandchild; sisters Verna Yoston (Gordon), Alice Vicars (Dave), Gloria Davis, Pauline O’Rourke (Carl), Olive Oram (Ronald); brothers Daniel Fournier, Douglas Fournier (Bev), John Fournier; and several nephews and nieces. She was predeceased by her sister Roberta Ferguson and brothers Charles Fournier, Bruce Fournier, sisters-in-law Betty Fournier, Janice Fournier, brother-in-law Gerald Davis, step sons Donald Bond and Stewart Bond.
