BEECHER FALLS – Sylvie A. Bunnell, 53, of Beecher Falls, died on Friday, June 29, 2018 at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, NH, after a brief and courageous battle with lung cancer. She was born in West Stewartstown on Oct. 24, 1964, a daughter to the late Gilbert and Juliette (Charest) Dion. She was raised and educated in Canada and re-located to the Canaan area after high school. Always known as a hard-working woman, Sylvie worked many different jobs during her life. For a time, she worked at the Candlelight Restaurant, at Tillotson Rubber Co., did child care in many different homes in the area, and worked for twenty years as a laborer at the Ethan Allen plant in Beecher Falls. She and her daughter started a small jewelry business in their home, as well as Christmas wreaths. But Sylvie’s true love was time spent with her grandchildren and working in her flower garden. She is survived by her two children, Laura Thibodeau (Marcel) of Beecher Falls and Peter Bunnell of West Stewartstown; her boyfriend, Robert Donovan; her three siblings, Marc Dion and his wife Dawn of Canaan, Mario Dion and his wife Jennifer of New Hampton, NH, and Roseanne Kuncio of West Stewartstown; and her six beloved grandchildren. Memorial calling hours will be on Friday, July 20, 2018, at the Jenkins & Newman Funeral Home in Colebrok, from 4 to 6 p.m. A private interment will occur at a later date in the St. Henrie Cemetery in East Hereford, Que.
