Bathurst - It is with great sadness that we, the family, announce the passing of Mrs. Estelle Cormier, 96, which occurred at the Chaleur Regional Hospital on Thursday April 3, 2025. She joins her husband Gerald and her son Gerry.

She was the proud mother of seven boys: Gerry (Jackie) of Miramichi, Michel (Sylvie) of Gatineau, Qc., André (Sonia) of St. Thomas, Pierre (Diane), Bernard (Dianne), Jacques (Donna) and Marc (Diane) all of Bathurst.

Fourteen grand-children which she adored: Jason, Natasha, Melissa, Greg, Danika, Liza, Amanda, Joshua, Alex, Marie-Andrée, Kathleen, Sarah, Vanessa and Jeremy.

Twenty-one great grandchildren which she loved beyond words: Noah, Naomi, Autumn, Dallas, Delilah, Daxton, Jacob, Cameron, Jack, Stella, Carter, Caleb, Amelia, Layla, Ella, Benjamin, Lauren, Archer, Brody, Big Brody and Tori.

She is survived by one brother Gilles.

Her laughter and wisdom will be greatly missed. She loved playing cards, especially with her grandchildren. No matter what was going on, she always had time for a game of 45. Estelle or Stella as she was known to her friends was involved in a lot of activities, card club, knitting club, quilting and cooking.

We would like to extend our gratitude to the residence Vienneau for the wonderful care she received for the past eight years.

We would also like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the staff of the Palliative care unit at the Chaleur Regional Hospital. They provided her with outstanding and compassionate care.
