LUCIENNE VOURIOT

(née CARRIÈRE)


Lucienne (Lucie), 96 years, passed away, surrounded by her loving family, on July 8, 2023.



She will be greatly missed by her children, Denis (Terry), Diane (Robert), her grandchildren, Françoise (Jeff), Michelle and Paul, great-grandchildren, Maëlle et André and numerous nieces and nephews.



Lucie was born in St. Vital at home on October 12, 1926, second youngest child of Joséphine Riel and Maxime Carrière. Following her graduation from Glenlawn Collegiate, she married Elzéar Vouriot and settled in St. Norbert where she worked alongside her husband in the post office and retired from the Federal Civil Services in 1990. Lucie happily spent a long retirement focused on spending time with her family.



Lucie was a fierce person, ahead of her time, politically and socially active as a member of numerous organizations such as La Ligue des Femmes Catholiques, PSCA, Liberal Party of Canada and several Métis Organizations. Lucie was proud of being Louis Riel’s great-niece and worked tirelessly to exonerate him.



The family wishes to thank her care team at St. Boniface Hospital on E4 Family Medicine who cared for Lucie during her final months.



A private interment will be held at a later date.

  • Sincere condolences to Diane and family over the loss of their mother, grandmother, and Aunt. Loved hearing stories about Lucie and Sally and she definitely sounded like she was a bit of a “brat”. Always a tease, even in her last days. Rest in peace Lucie! - Posted by: Monique Bérubé (Friend and coworker to Diane) on: Jul 15, 2023
