Elva M. LaPointe

UNITY – It is with great sadness that the family of Elva M. LaPointe, 93, announce her passing on Sept. 5, 2022, as a result of a car accident in Albion.

Elva was born the daughter of William and Alice Dee on Oct. 11, 1928. She became a U.S. citizen by naturalization and attended schools in Fort Fairfield. Elva married Edmond J. LaPointe Jr. on Sept. 11, 1950, and they had two children, Randy, and Sharon.

Elva and E.J. moved to Fairfield in the early 1960s where she began working in retail. She was employed by Centers Department Store, the Mammoth Mart and later by LaVerdiere’s Warehouse. She retired in the late 1980s.

Elva first and foremost loved her family and delighted in any and every activity. She had a quick wit and a sharp tongue. She never held back and had a friend in everyone she met. She would give her last dime and go without so someone could have their needs met. She was always a champion for the underdog. She enjoyed reading and cross word puzzles and keeping up with the news of the world. She enjoyed car rides and lunch out and leaf peeping in the fall.

One of her favorite things to do was watch her grandsons play football.

She was predeceased by her father, William, and her mother, Alice; her sister, Greta; and beloved son, Randy.

She is survived by her daughter, Sharon Carter and her husband Henry; her grandchildren Tanya Lennon, Shawn and Kim LaPointe, Randy LaPointe Jr.; great-grandchildren Jacob Lennon and wife, Abigail, Bradley Lennon, Chase LaPointe, McKinzie LaPointe, Cayden, and Olivia LaPointe; her bonus grandchildren Todd Carter and Binika Beauleau, Brian and Kristen Kimball, Amber and Jeff Lafrance, Jacob and Jordyn Alward; great-grandchildren Allie and Davanee Kimball, Mason, Colten, and Piper Carter, Rory Rose and Lucas Lafrance, Jadynce, Jaxon, Jamason and Acadia Alward; two special grandsons, Abraham Aldus of Virginia, and Matthew Aldus of Colorado; sister, Maxine Morrisette, brother, Sterling Davenport; many nieces and nephews; in-laws; and countless friends.

A private burial will be held at a later date.

Arrangements are in the care of Lawry Brothers Funeral Home, 107 Main St., Fairfield where memories may be shared, and an online register book signed by visiting http://www.lawrybrothers.com.
