Constance Lizotte

OAKLAND – Constance “Connie” A. (Fortier) Lizotte, 81, passed away due to natural causes on Saturday Sept. 25, 2021 at Lakewood with her husband by her side.

Connie was born on August 18, 1940 in Waterville. She was the youngest daughter of Narcisse “Shine” Fortier and Marie (Quirion) Fortier. She attended school in Waterville, graduating from Waterville High School in 1958.

Connie’s jobs included working at Thayer Hospital delivering meals to patients, and working in the office at C.F. Hathaway Shirt Company, where she was employed for decades. One of her job titles was Master Schedule Coordinator for Christian Dior.

Connie was raised Catholic and attended mass at Notre Dame Church throughout the years. On Feb. 3, 1962 Connie married Ervin Lizotte, the love of her life. Together they raised their two daughters in Oakland and then Waterville. Later she became known as “Gramama” and “Grum” to her grandchildren.

Connie was very outgoing and she was a friend to many. She had a great sense of humor, quick wit and was not easily offended. A “quick” phone call could go on for hours and frequently did. She enjoyed dining out with friends who call themselves “The Lovely Ladies”, and sitting on a bench in her yard visiting with her neighbors. Her hobbies included assembling jigsaw puzzles, reading, attending Christmas craft fairs, and traveling. But most of all Connie loved spending time with her family.

In addition to her parents, Connie was predeceased by her sister, Jacqueline “Jackie” Caron, a few in-laws’ and a nephew.

Connie is survived by her husband, Ervin Lizotte of Oakland; her daughters Holly Angelique of Mechanicsburg, Pa., and Heidi Huard and “favorite son-in-law”, Dale Huard of Waterville; grandchildren Aja Binette of Philadelphia, Jordan Huard and girlfriend Michele Pashby of Albany, Calif., and Micayla Huard of Waterville; sister, Patricia Weinstock of San Pedro, Calif.; and in-laws Theresa Bartlett and husband Richard, Richard Lizotte, Kenneth Lizotte and wife Priscilla; nieces and nephews Danielle Weinstock, Heather Weinstock, Jim Perrini, Vickie Catalina, Kristen Atchley, Beth Ross, Matthew Lizotte, Michael Lizotte, Michelle Hughs, Keith Caron, Denise Caron-Rancourt; a very close cousin, Jeannine Landry and “niece” Marilyn Urbano. Connie is survived by many friends too numerous to list.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at Notre Dame Catholic Church at 116 Silver St., Waterville at 10 a.m. on Wednesday Oct. 6.

Arrangements are under the direction and care of Aable Cremation, Waterville.
