Estelle Marie Bonna-Baccardax, Poirierville - 87 years
Estelle Marie Bonna-Baccardax passed away peacefully on January 23, 2025 at the Strait Richmond Hospital, Evanston.
Born in Poirierville, Richmond County, Estelle was the daughter of the late Alexander and Jeanne (Boudreau) Baccardax.
Estelle was devout in her Roman Catholic faith and served in many capacities at Saint Hyacinth Parish, including Parish council, Finance committee, fundraising for the Parish fund, and as a Eucharistic minister bringing communion to the sick and shut ins.
She was a graduate of Saint Francis Xavier University, teaching in many communities for the Richmond County school board. She was a member of the D’Escousse Civic Improvement Society, and also a board member of the local credit union in D’Escousse.
She loved gardening and her fruit and vegetables were enjoyed by family and neighbors (and the occasional wild deer). She loved to cook and was very generous with her creations, especially her legendary seafood chowder. She will be missed by her family members and friends who benefited greatly from her generosity.
Estelle is survived by her sister-in-law Florence, cousins, Lorette and Oswald; nephews Pete, Al, David and Louis; and nieces Gloria, Sally and special niece, Anne.
Besides her parents, she was pre-deceased by her loving husband “Bobby“, sister Therese, brothers Alfred, Tobie, Paul and Father Peter (Pomquet). She was the last surviving member of her family.
The family thank Dr. Laurie McNeil and staff, Dr. Gillis and the palliative care staff and caregivers, and the doctors, nurses and staff at the Strait Richmond Hospital for their kindness and compassionate care.
