Lucille M. Pariseau

She was born March 11, 1923 in Franklin, MA to the late Antoine and Arcelia “Cecile” (Gagnon) Pariseau. Lucille was the youngest and last surviving of 6 siblings, the late Roland “Rollie” Pariseau, Cecile “Sis” (Pariseau) Gurn, Antoine “Gig” Pariseau, Paul Pariseau, and Joseph Pariseau, all of whom she adored.

At the age of 2, the family moved to Orange Street in Attleboro, MA where she lived until 2003. Lu’s first job was at her family’s bakery, Ideal Bakery, and is where her love for sweets and pastries began. Later, she worked as the secretary for the Mayor of Attleboro, Mayor Brennan, and lastly at Cumberland Engineering until she retired in 1985. She loved to travel often with her family. Her favorite place to travel to was Dennisport, MA where she owned a small beach cottage, and at one point owned 3, in Chases Ocean Grove from 1950 until this summer where she passed peacefully. As the years went on, the cottage community grew with more and more family members and it will forever hold special memories of all the Pariseau siblings. In 2003, she moved to Cranston, RI to be closer to her niece Michelle Varin, also of Cranston, with whom she resided with the last few years.

Lucille is survived by Paul Gurn and Eileen Synnott of Keene, NH, Dennis and Janet Gurn of Florence, MA, Michelle and Richard Varin of Cranston,RI, and many other nieces and nephews, great nieces and nephews, and great great nieces and nephews. She was the proud mother of Scooter the cat and Tweety the bird and a lover of all animals, except snakes. Lucille was incredibly generous and caring for all she knew. Whether it was making sure you had something to eat or hiding money in plastic eggs for everyone at Easter, you could always feel her special love. We will miss her kind soul, sweet smile, quick wit, her gentle love, and contagious laugh.

Due to the COVID-19 virus, there is no memorial planned at this time, family will be notified when there is. In lieu of flowers, please share a laugh with your loved ones and enjoy a sweet treat in her memory.
