Judith Bastien Obituary

MANCHESTER - Judith "Judi" E. Bastien, 61, of Manchester, died Feb. 23, 2012, at the Community Hospice House, surrounded by her loving family, after a long illness.

Born in Manchester on Sept. 16, 1950, she was the daughter of George and Muriel (Foss) Wilson. She was a lifelong resident of the Queen City, and graduated from Manchester Memorial High School, class of 1969.

Early in her career, she was employed at Sanders Associates. Later, while raising her daughter and caring for her parents, she was a homemaker.

She enjoyed spending time at her summer home at Locke Lake, and taking sunset cruises in the family pontoon boat, and doing puzzles on the porch.

Judi was an avid traveler, especially to Maui, which was her favorite island. She was a loyal New England Patriots fan. Her favorite player was Teddy Bruschi.

She will be sadly missed by all who knew and loved her, including her dog, Sophie.

Family members include her husband of 36 years, Ronald O. Bastien; a daughter, Kimberly A. Bastien of Manchester; a stepson, Ronald Foley and his fiancée, Deb DiMarzio, of Goffstown; three sisters, Lynne C. Wilson, Donna L. Wilson and Nancy Wilson Dupuis and her husband, Gaetan, all of Manchester; two brothers, Richard D. Wilson of Manchester and David W.

My sincere sympathies to Judi's family and friends. I'm sorry I missed the obit and didn't help represent the old Maynard Ave neighborhood of the '50's and '60's, which had to be one of the best anywhere. Judi was an especially good friend to my sister, Lynne (Nassoura) Spaulding - - thanks, Judi!

My deepest sympathy to all of you. I will always remember the first time I met Judi. I was in the 5th grade at a new school and was scared to death. I didn't know anyone & spent the first few days alone. Then this beautiful girl with the biggest smile I ever saw said she'd be my friend and took me under her wing. I'll never forget how special she made me feel. I'll always remember her smile and her great laugh.
God Bless.
