Ervin D. Lizotte

WATERVILLE – Ervin D. Lizotte, 83, a resident of Woodlands Assisted Living, passed away on Monday, May 6, 2024, with his youngest brother, Kenneth, and sister-in-law, Priscilla, by his side.

Ervin, the third child born to Henry and Leona (Levesque) Lizotte, entered the world on Dec. 5, 1940, in Waterville. Ervin attended parochial and public schools and graduated from Waterville High School in 1959.

Ervin was raised Catholic and considered Notre Dame his church. On Feb. 3, 1962, he married Constance “Connie” Fortier, the love of his life. Together they raised their two daughters in Oakland, then in Waterville. Later, Ervin became known as “Da” to his grandchildren.

Ervin had numerous jobs throughout his lifetime: Fairfield Creamery, Scott Paper (construction crew), CF Hathaway Co, salesman for Met Life, Grossman’s, Waterville Hardware, True Value, Bob Plourde’s Plumbing and Heating (showroom), and Hannaford.

In 1997 he purchased a property in need of extensive repair, turning one of his hobbies into a lucrative endeavor by investing a lot of sweat equity into the building and renting out the units, which were Section 8 approved.

Ervin enjoyed following his favorite sports teams: The New England Patriots, Boston Red Sox, Boston Celtics, Boston Bruins, and locally, Waterville High School Basketball, where he was once awarded “Fan of the Year”.

Ervin enjoyed spending time with friends and family and traveling. His vacations included a cross country road trip with his lifelong friend, Dick Cote, several trips to Las Vegas, Nev. where he would sometimes meet up with his friend since early childhood, Gene Duguay, and a very special trip to Paris. Ervin was bilingual, fluent in both English and Canadian French. He was proud of his French heritage and was a member of Le Club Calumet.

Ervin made many friends at Woodlands Senior Living, and he was especially fond of a resident named Marilyn.

In addition to his parents, Ervin was predeceased by his wife of almost 60 years, Connie; siblings Priscilla, Doris Perrini, Robert; a few in-laws; a nephew; and a very special aunt, Anna Gurney.

Ervin is survived by his daughters Holly Angelique of Lancaster, Pa., Heidi Huard and her husband Dale of Waterville; grandchildren Aja Binette of Philadelphia, Pa., Jordan Huard and his partner Michele Pashby of El Cerrito, Calif., and Micayla Huard of Waterville; siblings and in-laws Theresa and Richard Bartlett, Richard Lizotte, Kenneth and Priscilla Lizotte; many nieces and nephews; as well as many cousins, including the Gurneys; and numerous beloved friends.

The family would like to thank his former at home caregivers Jane, Sheri, Terrie, and Annie; and the staff at Woodlands Senior Living where he thrived; and the staff at MaineGeneral Medical Center in Augusta for their caring and compassion.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at Notre Dame Catholic Church at 116 Silver St., Waterville at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, May 28, followed by a burial at St. Francis Catholic Cemetery, 78 Grove St., Waterville.

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