Obituary of Helen Marguerite Gallant
It is with sadness that the family of Helen Marguerite Gallant, age 89, wife of the late Urban Gallant, announces her death which occurred on Saturday, July 24, 2021 at the Sus Health Centre. She was born on March 21, 1932, in Poodiac, NB, a daughter of the late Lawrence and Bernice (McDonald) Brown.
Helen was a member of St. Francis Xavier Church and the Liberal Ladies Group. She also volunteered her time at the Kiwanis Nursing Home, as well as at the Church functions. Helen was a strong independent person who took pride in her home and anything she set her mind to. She enjoyed family gatherings in Craft’s Cove and Belleisle Bay, poking campfires, sitting on the beach, and watching the boats go by. Her family will miss her delicious stews, pickled beets, rhubarb crisp, home-made cookies and sweet bread loaves.
