Obituary for Lois (Williamson) Lavariere
“But as God calls us one by one the chain will link again.”
Lois Elsie (Williamson) Lavariere, 89, passed away peacefully on February 29, 2024, with her two daughters by her side. Born in Phillips, Maine, on April 11, 1934, she was the daughter of the late Charles C. Williamson and Marguerite (Bridges) Williamson. Lois has joined her parents in eternity, as well as her loving husband of 31 years Richard L. Lavariere, daughter Donna and son Steven, who predeceased her. She resided in Ludlow for more than 60 years and worked at the Ludlow Town Hall in the Board of Assessors office for many years. She was a loving sister, mother, grandmother and great grandmother to her family. She is survived by her sister Celia (Williamson) Lund, daughters Deborah (Lavariere) Ledoux and her husband Roger Ledoux, Karen Lavariere-Sanchez and her husband Gustavo E. Sanchez, grandchildren Nicholas Sanchez, Allison Ledoux Mollen and her husband Tim Mollen, David Ledoux and his wife Tamar (Sarig) Ledoux, Alexander Sanchez and his fiancé Madeline Caudle, Elise Sanchez and her fiancé Andrew Dagres, and her great grandchildren, Henry and Madelyn Mollen and Ilan and Gali Ledoux, whose smiles always spread to her face and lit her up. She will be so missed. Visitation will take place at Ludlow Funeral Home on March 7 from 9:15-10:15 a.m. followed by a Catholic funeral Mass at St. Elizabeth Parish and burial at St. Aloysius Cemetery.
The family wishes to say a heartfelt thank you to the staff of Mason Wright in Springfield MA, who cared for her during her last years of life, and to the staff of Baystate Medical Center ED and ICU, who provided care and support to Lois and her family in her last hours.
