Helene Kay Gauthier
Helene Kay Gauthier, 79, of Merrimack, New Hampshire, passed away peacefully in her daughter Cindy’s arms early Thursday morning, Sept. 29, 2022, knowing the love of her family and friends.
Helene was born Jan. 7, 1943, was a high school graduate and gentle mother of two. In the early 1970s as a recent divorcee, her path took her to meet Ron Gauthier of Merrimack, also a recent divorcee and father of four children, trekked forward in a blended family and loving marriage of nearly 50 years, a match clearly meant to be.
She and her husband enjoyed easy walks in their quiet neighborhood, Elvis’ music, dancing, anniversaries in Hawaii, anagrams and holidays with family. She also was a Scabble Tournament Division Winner.
After being baptizing in finding Jesus in 2004, she dedicated her life to the word of our Lord. She was magnetic in forming close friendships which, in turn, proved to be great loving and never faltering, especially after the loss of her husband, up to the day of her own passing.
She was predeceased by her husband, Ronald Gauthier Sr., and two children, Dawn Marie Gauthier and Ronald Gauthier Jr.
She will be forever loved and remembered by her children, Pamela St. Onge-Malouin, Cindy Marvin, Rick Gauthier and Lyn Luck; nine grandchildren; 23 great-grandchildren; a sister, Roberta Grassia, along with a nieces and nephew.
Services were held at the Bedford Road Baptist Church, 67 Bedford Road, Merrimack on Sunday, Oct. 2, 2022.
