Arthur Maurice Lamarre (1925-2020), son of Andre and Yvonne Lamarre, died peacefully at St. Anne’s Hospital on January 28th due to respiratory failure at the age of 94. A lifelong resident of Fall River, Arthur is lovingly remembered by son, Dennis Lamarre of Fall River, granddaughter, Jessica Phillips of Middleboro, sister, Georgette Antaya of Westport, and many nieces and nephews. He never learned to swim but despite this Arthur touched both Atlantic and Pacific waters while serving in the Navy for 3 1/2 years on armed guard duty merchant ships S.S. Edward Doking, S.S. Wolverine, and S.S. John M. Schofield. He was discharged from the Philippines in 1945 and during shore leave met his soulmate Dorothy “Dot” Zaia. They were happily married for 53 years until her death in 1999. Arthur was a dedicated worker at Remy Moving for 11 ½ years and Fall River Gas for 25 years. He loved to bowl, competing in 3 local leagues. In his final goodbye to his granddaughter, Arthur told her what he always told her: “Be good“, something we all should aspire to in his memory. Arthur was a strong, proud man with a big heart and will be sorely missed by all of the lives he has touched.
