Marcel O. Lariviere left this world to be with his Lord and Savior on January 8, 2016. Born in Woonsocket, he was a son of the late John Baptiste and Cecile (Belanger) Lariviere. Marcel grew up in Woonsocket, later moving to Providence. He graduated from the URI School of Pharmacy in 1981, and was employed as a medical technician for thirty five years servicing the RI community. Most recently he worked the last fifteen years at the Coventry Skilled Center. Marcel was predeceased by his former wife Linda Myra Lariviere.
He leaves two sons whom he is very proud of, Brian J. M. Lariviere of Providence with whom he resided and who was always his close companion, and Robert M. Lariviere of Glocester. His granddaughter Ashley Paige Lariviere was the reason he woke up every day, and put that sparkle and joy in his eyes. He loved his family and friends and was always caring for others.
Marcel was the second oldest in his family, and is survived by his siblings, Gloria Corriveau and her husband Marc, Joanne McGee and her husband Kevin, Ronald Lariviere and his wife Janice, Dennis Fontaine, Diane Lacombe and her husband Rick, and Raymond Kershaw and his wife Carletta. He was also the brother of the late Roland, Robert, Richard and Pauline Lariviere.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be held Friday at 10:00 AM in All Saints Church, Rathbun St. Woonsocket. Burial will be private. In lieu of flowers donations to Home and Hospice Care of RI, 1085 North Main St., Providence, RI 02904-9826 in his memory would be appreciated.
