MARCEL LIZOTTE
It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Marcel Lizotte on May 22, 2023.
Giving of oneself to others was one of his main goals in life. He believed that the essence of life was engrained in building positive relationships with others. As well as our ability to love and be loved, so that our reason for being in this life would have meaningful and positive impact with the world around us. Always living life with a sense of purpose was his motto.
He was married to Claire Levasseur and was blessed with three sons: Marc-Andre (Carla), Jean-Michel (Jessica), and Pierre-Paul (Pierre). Remembered by his partner Richard Simkin. He was a loving grandfather to Summer and Alice. A caring brother to Monique, Hermel, Huguette, Francoise, Linda, Ginette, and Rejean. Loved by his many nieces and nephews. Marcel will also be fondly remembered by his colleagues, as well as the thousands of students he encountered in the span of his teaching career.
Funeral mass will be held on Saturday, June 24, 2023 at 10:30 a.m. with a tribute video and messages beginning at 10:00 a.m. at Holy Family Church, 774 Archibald St., Winnipeg, MB. Interment will take place at Saint-Boniface Cemetery. Reception to follow in the Parish Hall.

Chère Claire et famille ainsi que la famille Lizotte et Levasseur: Recently I attended the funeral of Fr. John Kracher O.M. and learned of Rev. Marcel…it brought back so many fond memories of our lives together at St. Boniface Diocesan. His infectious spirit, love of young people, and dedication to the church were an inspiration to us all. It was 1995, and Marcel had just taken on the leadership of SBDHS during a time of its expansion, new wing of the school, and so many new and dynamic teachers had been drawn to the energy which was like sweet incense in the hallways. Marcel put his all into the brief 68 years here, and has now left behind an important legacy as a Catholic educator here in western Canada. Merci Marcel….merci!
