It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, Constance "Connie" Willden, 88, of Moncton, on December 13, 2024 at Pavillon Richard of Faubourg du Mascaret. Born on February 22, 1936 in Digby,  NS, she was the daughter of the late Cyril and Helen (White) Comeau. 

Prior to her retirement, Connie was employed with the Royal Bank of Canada for many years.  She was also a longstanding member of the Catholic Women’s League (CWL)  at Saint Bernard’s Catholic Church. 

In her lifetime Connie enjoyed sailing, traveling, RVing, golf and operating a Bed and Breakfast in Deep Brook, NS, with her late husband Gordon. 

Connie will be deeply missed by her three children: Kevin Frenette (Johanne) of Moncton, Janice Frenette (Donald Brooks) of Saint-Norbert, and Nancy Gatien (Greg) of Brandon, MB; four grandchildren: Maximillian Frenette (Megan Bona), Alexander Frenette (Nina Marsh) , Nicholas Frenette (Bridget Bogdanof), and Beatrice Gatien; four great-grandchildren: Grace Frenette, Henry Frenette, Tara Frenette and Djed Frenette; four step-children: Diana Quartey (Gil), John Willden (Maxime), Eric Willden (Jayne) and Dorothy Wiebe (Gary); nine step-grandchildren: Jonathan Fox, Victor Quartey, Chelsea Quartey, Sarah Doherty, Julie Chandler, Alex Willden, Kiana Wiebe, Jacob Wiebe, and Matthew Wiebe; six step-great-grandchildren: Oliver, Holden, Leo, Keaton, Henry, and Beau; one sister, Carol Calnan (Brian) of Bathurst; one brother, Paul (Diane) of Bathurst.  Besides her parents, Connie was predeceased by her husband Gordon Willden (2019); two sisters: Agatha and Anne (Maurice); and two brothers: Cyril (Sharon) and Robert "Bob" (Annette).

The family will receive condolences at Frenette Funeral and Cremation Centre, 88 Church Street, Moncton (506-858-1900) on Sunday December 22 from 1 to 4 pm only. The funeral mass will be celebrated at St Bernard’s Roman Catholic Church, 43 Botsford Street, Moncton on Monday December 23 at 11 am.  Interment will be at Holy Family Cemetery in Bathurst at a later date. In memory of Connie, a contribution to the Catholic Woman’s League of Canada would be appreciated.
