Helene Gustafson
Helene E. (Chader) Gustafson died December 11, 2019, in Southampton.
Ms. Gustafson, affectionately known as “Enie” to some, was born in Brooklyn in 1927 to George and Rose Chader of Hampton Bays. A graduate of Franklin K. Lane High School, she attended Pratt Institute’s School of Art before getting married and raising a family. She returned to art, painting watercolors later in life.
She made the most of a difficult life, survivors said.
She is survived by her husband, Harry; son Peter and wife Mary; grandsons, Dustin and John Gustafson; plus three great-grandchildren, Tor “Toru,” Mona Jane “Monami,” and Jin Narita-Gustafson. She was predeceased by two of her three children, Elizabeth Eve and Mark John Gustafson.
Funeral arrangements are under the direction of the Scott-Rothwell Funeral Home in Hampton Bays. Interment of ashes will be on her birthday, Monday, February 10, at 1 p.m. at Good Ground Cemetery in Hampton Bays.
