CHELSEA -- Tillie Jeanette (Cloutier) Bonsant, 54, of Chelsea, passed away on Friday, Jan. 20, 2012, after a brief illness. Her loving husband of 35 years, Richard Bonsant, and her sister, Donna Cloutier, were by her side.

Tillie previously was employed for 18 years at Augusta Mental Health Institute as a dietary aide and enjoyed her work and especially her dear friends at work. She loved to read, crochet, needlework and knit. She especially loved to give her handiwork to family and friends.
