SABATTUS — Veronica “Vicky” (Bassett) Breton, beloved wife of Marcel H. Breton, lost her courageous battle with pulmonary fibrosis on July 7, 2011.

Vicky and Marcel spent their years together wintering in Bonita Springs, Fla., playing cards, going out dancing the night away with friends and taking trips to Hollywood Slots, where Vicky enjoyed hours on the “Penny” one arm bandit penny slot machines!

She will be remembered by everyone for her love of life, her infectious laughter and her gift of hospitality. She will be sadly missed by all that were fortunate enough to know her.

Vicky is survived by her husband, Marcel H. Breton; her four children, Janet Kimball of Bonita Springs, Fla., Joyce Murphy of Brewer, Richard Bassett of Cumberland and George Bassett of Sweden; stepsister, Royetta Flynn of Aurora, Miss.; stepdaughter, Rose Elwell of Topsham; seven grandchildren; and nine great-grandchildren.
