Lillian Bastow, born on 30 January 1933, the daughter of the late

 

John Henry Bastow and Olive Burns of Pawtucket, RI, and long

 

time resident of Golden Crest Nursing Centre, died late Friday (28

 

August) at Our Lady of Fatima Hospital, North Providence, RI of

 

kidney complications. Lillian is survived by her first cousin, Joel

 

Bastow, of Columbia, Maryland and several second cousins,

 

including Nancy Vogelman, of Annandale, VA. Lillian was a

 

graduate of the Charles E. Shea Senior High School (formerly

 

Pawtucket West) and a one time employee of Brown & Sharpe.

 

Although unpublished, Lillian was a prolific short story writer,

 

specializing in children's stories. Her works were enjoyed, not only

 

by local elementary school children, whose teachers were (by

 

request) on distribution for her latest stories, but also her stories

 

were enjoyed by friends, relatives and her fellow residents and

 

staff at the Golden Crest Nursing Centre. Lillian's funeral will be

 

held at 12:00 (noon) on Saturday 5 September at the Merrick

 

Williams Funeral Home at 530 Smithfield Avenue. Pawtucket, RI.

 

We welcome Lillian's current and former friends, neighbors, co-

 

workers and school friends, etc. to come to the 11:00 AM viewing

 

to share remembrances with relatives of Lillian.
