Obituary of Robin Rebecca Amirault

On Monday, February 25, 2019, "Bubby" Robin Amirault, of Saint John, loving mother, grandmother and aunt, passed away suddenly at the age of 60. Born on January 20, 1959 in Yarmouth, NS. Growing up in Yarmouth, Bubby could be quite mischievous at times, always seeming to know where to find a little trouble. But would look back on those times with great fondness of the memories she shared and the lifelong friendships that were made. Making her way to Saint John in her mid-20’s, it’s there she set down her roots, had her daughter, played a major role in the lives of her nieces and later went on to raise her grandson. Bubby enjoyed spending time with family, catching up with friends at the Bowlarama, Friday nights at Union Street Bingo and looked forward to weekly dinners at her nieces. She was known for her kindness, strength and for always being there when you needed her. Bubby will be lovingly remembered by her daughter Erica Amirault and grandson Brandon both of Saint John, her sister Wanda Haley of Yarmouth, NS, her daughter-like-nieces: Krysta Amirault-Bowden (Shawn) and Lisa Hartley (Andy Gaudette) all of Saint John, Nanny Bubby’s Boy Brennan Hartley and Nanny Bubby’s Girl, Charlotte Watson both of Saint John. She was adored by her nieces: Tammy Flint, Heidi Flint, Angela Flint (George Richardson), Megan Flint, Nadine Flint, Brandy Flint, Christine Flint, Rebecca Flint (Randy Daigle) Cathline Flint (Brian Stoddard) Chrissy Haley (Dave Muise) and Nicole Bigney, as well as her nephews: Alex Flint, Daniel Ryan (Kennedy Watson), Brayden Ryan, Clarke Haley (Laura Surette) and Scott Bigney, along with several cousins, great nieces, great nephews and many friends. Bubby was predeceased by her mother Phyllis Amirault of Yarmouth, NS, brother Alexander Christie of Mississippi, sisters: Imogene Flint of Saint John and Cynthia Amirault of Yarmouth, NS and great nephew Alexzender Flint-Kerr of Saint John. Bubby’s family would like to extend a special "thank you" to her cousin Sherry Martin (Gary) and Melanie King (Shaun) for all the support and devotion they’ve shown to Bubby and Brandon over the years. As well as Dr. Reiman and the staff of the Oncology Department at the Saint John Regional Hospital for their compassion, and empathy.
