Lawrence Joseph Belanger

WINSLOW – It is with broken hearts and great sadness that we share with you, that Lawrence Joseph Belanger, 86, of Winslow, passed away at home following a long illness on March 4, 2026, with his family by his side.
He was born in Frenchville on July 23, 1939, the son of the late Walter and Helen (Albert) Belanger. He married his sweetheart, Lynn Lachance on July 22, 1961 at Notre Dame Catholic Church in Waterville. Together, they raised their two daughters, Tina and Lisa. He worked at various jobs throughout his life. Among them, Fort Halifax Chicken Processing Plant and Zimba Company, until his retirement. He was a loving and devoted husband, and he especially enjoyed family gatherings and entertaining by playing his guitar and harmonica. He could play and sing almost any country song he was asked to play. If he didn’t know it, you could be sure he would know it by the following week. He enjoyed playing cribbage and looked forward to taking your dollar. He loved to pick his own fiddleheads and enjoyed time in his small garden. He was proud of all his grandchildren and was always happy when they would visit, especially his great-grandchildren.
He is survived by his beloved children, daughter Tina Faucher and her partner, Dean Albee, and her two children, Jason Faucher and his wife Bryn, all of Winslow, and Amanda and her husband Ryan Dostie of Rome, and daughter Lisa Breton, and her husband, Donald of North Vassalboro, and their two children, Justin and his husband Will Tully, of Brooklyn, N.Y., and Jessica Breton of Winslow. He is also survived by one great grandson, Corey Faucher and two great granddaughters, Adelaide Dostie and Lucy Richards Breton-Tully, as well as step-great grandsons Brandon and Cody Green. He is also survived by his sister Theresa Culbertson, sisters-in-law, Micheline Laraviere, Carole Getchell and Liliane Davidson, and many nieces, nephews and cousins.
He was predeceased by his wife, Lynn, his parents, great-granddaughter Mariah Faucher, sisters, Pearl and Judy, brothers, Guilford, Edward, and his twin brother Larry.
The family wishes to thank Fr. Patrick Agbodi of Corpus Christ Parish for administering the Sacrament of the Sick for Lawrence.
The family also wishes to express our heartfelt gratitude to Chris from MaineGeneral Home HealthCare and Julie, Dawn, Debbie and Linda from MaineGeneral Hospice, who all provided exceptional care for our father when he needed it the most. He loved you all.
