It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Marie Lantin Murray on Saturday, January 25th, 2025 at the age of 84, following a very courageous battle with cancer. She is survived by her loving daughter Sharon (Theo) and will be forever missed by her cherished granddaughter, Megan and her loyal companion, Ginger. Daughter of the late Louis-Philippe Lantin and the late Marie-Louise Boucher, she is predeceased by her beloved husband of 60 years, Steven Gordon Murray, and her brothers, Raymond and Gérard. She leaves to mourn her brothers and sisters Théodore, Adalbert, Jacqueline, Réginald, Danielle, Philippe, Louis, Gérald, Lise and Louise, sisters-in-law Monica and Reina as well as many nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.
Born and raised in Newport, Gaspé, Quebec, Marie relocated to Montreal (Outremont) with her husband, Steven, in 1964. A devoted wife, mother and homemaker, her path would eventually lead her to the healthcare industry where she flourished at the CHSLD de Vaudreuil.
A devout Catholic, Marie was a true ambassador of the Christian faith. In her retirement years, she devoted herself to community service. In addition to volunteering at the Carrefour de l’Espoir, she worked closely with the staff and clergy of Saint-Michel Catholic Church for many years in various capacities including organizing and overseeing the annual Month of Mary.
Marie will be best remembered for her God-given talent in the restoration of religious statues. Over the years, she repaired and restored countless statues, many of which can be found at various churches.
She departed this world peacefully surrounded by her family, leaving behind the lasting memory of a genuinely humble, kind-hearted, compassionate and loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend. Her kindness and generosity will be deeply missed by everyone who knew her.
The family will welcome family and friends to receive condolences in the presence of the ashes on Tuesday, February 11th, 2025 at Saint-Dominique Catholic Church in Newport, Quebec at 10:00 am followed by the religious service to be celebrated at 10:30 am.
A second funeral will take place at Saint-Michel Catholic Church in Vaudreuil-Dorion, Quebec on Friday, February 14th, 2025. The family will receive condolences in the presence of the ashes at 10:00 am followed by the religious service to be celebrated at 11:00 am. A private burial service will take place at a later date.
The family wishes to express their gratitude to the dedicated staff in Oncology and Internal Medicine at Hôpital du Suroît in Salaberry-de-Valleyfield. Heartfelt thanks to Julie Vallée and the team of nurses and doctors at the CLSC Vaudreuil-Dorion for their outstanding care and compassion throughout this journey and their kindness and gentle care during her final days. The family also wishes to express their sincere gratitude to Rachel Smith and the team of pharmacists and technicians at Pharmaprix – Pharmacie Simon Paquin for their constant support and outstanding level of service.
In lieu of flowers, donations to the Canadian Cancer Society or the Canadian Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation in her memory would be greatly appreciated.
