BLACKSTONE - Marion A. (Levitre) Crochiere, 93, of Blackstone, MA passed away peacefully on Thursday, September 27, 2018 at home surrounded by her loving family. She was born in Chestnut Hill Millville on December 16, 1924 and was married to Arthur Crochiere, Jr. on May 17, 1947. Marion was the daughter of the late Henry and Rhea (Gauthier) Levitre and was a lifelong resident of Blackstone. She was a communicant of St. Paul's Catholic Church of Blackstone all her life and is survived by her daughter Joyce Parmentier and her husband John of Blackstone, and one sister Jacqueline Kowalewski of Manville. She leaves behind her three loving grandchildren, Patricia Gauthier of Blackstone, Joel Parmentier of New York City and Daniel Parmentier of Bellingham, as well as four beloved great grandchildren, Katherine, Jenna and Andrew Gauthier, and Nathan Parmentier, all to whom she was known simply as Nan.

Marion graduated from Millville Elementary School and then worked in several mills, General Instruments in Woonsocket, Draper Corporation in Hopedale and as part of the support staff at the Blackstone Millville Regional High School. Marion had many passions in life but especially the time she spent with family on Cape Cod, big band music and dancing the waltz. She was known for being a wonderful cook and frequently brought bread, blueberry muffins and brownies to all she loved, along with her quick sense of humor and soothing advice. Marion will be greatly missed.
