Marie Elaine Laprise, born June 30, 1945, in Fall River, MA, USA, embraced the next chapter of her journey on September 26, 2024. Known for her infectious laughter, unwavering resilience, and dedication to her work, Marie was the embodiment of the quote by Henry David Thoreau, "It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see." She had a knack for seeing the beauty and potential in everything around her, and this perspective fueled her passion for her profession and her relationships.

Marie made her mark through a successful career in cleaning services. She took immense pride in her work, transforming spaces into sanctuaries of cleanliness and organization. Her eye for detail, coupled with her strong work ethic, made her an admired figure in her field. She was not just a professional cleaner, but a purveyor of peace, tranquility, and order. As Confucius once said, "Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life." Marie was fortunate to find that love in her work.

Marie is survived by her ex-husband, Ronald Laprise, with whom she shared many years of companionship. The couple, though separated, continued to share an undying respect and bond. She was preceded in death by her loving parents, Antoine Sr. and Odelia Rocha. Despite the chapters of her life that have come to a close, the story of Marie Laprise continues to inspire and uplift through the cherished memories she has left behind.

We encourage those who knew and loved Marie to share their memories and upload photos on the memorial page. In this space, we can celebrate her life, acknowledge her impact, and keep her spirit alive. As author Harriet Beecher Stowe said, "Never part without loving words to think of during your absence. It may be that you will not meet again in this life." Let us remember Marie with love and celebrate her remarkable journey.
