Lucille D. Messier

Our devoted wife, mom, grandmother, great grandmother, and sister, Lucille D. Messier, 92, of Bristol, passed away on October 26, 2021, surrounded by her adoring family. She lived a life led by steadfast love, sacrifice, faith, and an enduring commitment to her family. She led by quiet example. She and our dad instilled in all of us the knowledge of what an extraordinary blessing family is. Nothing is more important than that kinship that binds us all together through happy times and times of sorrow. We are certain that our mom is now in heaven, and this gives us great comfort. Lucille was a gifted woman whose talents included knitting, crocheting, sewing, rug braiding, floral design, as well as a host of other crafts. Her hands were rarely idle and her family reaped the benefits of her many talents throughout her long life. Her attention to detail (with a large dose of perfectionism) made us the envy of our friends as she fashioned our wardrobes (even coats!) from hand. Most noteworthy is the long and loving life she shared with our dad having been married just shy of their 71st wedding anniversary. They did everything together, went everywhere together, shared their lives with one another, and taught us what devotion really means. Our mom leaves behind her husband, best friend, confidante, and soulmate, Edgar, as well as her adoring children, Michele (Tim), Jane (Frank), Michael (Deb), and Lauren (Jim). She was exceedingly proud of her treasured grandchildren, Derek (Heather), Kristal (David), Sarah (Julian), Ryan (Brittany), Ashley (Kevin), and Nicholas (Shannon). All of her life's joys didn't compare to the happiness she felt when she told people she had 12 great-grandchildren! They are Addyson, Oliver, Ella, Rhylyn, Luciano, Charlotte, Gianna, Wesley, Chloe, Austin, Ripken, and Colson. She leaves behind her cherished sister, Jane, to carry on the title of "The Dube Girls." How blessed we all have been to have had this amazing wife, mom, Nana, and sister in our lives. We will all look back on our memories of her with loving hearts. She was pre-deceased by her mom and dad, Joseph and Blandine Dube, her sister and brother-in-law, Lillian and Richard Chapman, as well as her father and mother-in-law, Ovila and Onalda Messier and, brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Donald and Bernice Messier. As per our mom's request, burial will be private for the immediate family and a memorial mass will be celebrated sometime in the future at the convenience of the family. In memory of our mom, please do something wonderful with your family and create lasting, cherished memories. Memorial donations can be made in her name to Pancreatic Cancer/ American Cancer Society, or online at: donate3.cancer.org, or by telephone 1-800-227-2345.
