Marie C. Maurice 

ST. JOHNSBURY, Vt. - Marie Claire (Prevost) Maurice, 80, of St.
Johnsbury, died at the Pines Rehabilitation and Health Center in Lyndon
on Friday, May 4, 2001, after breaking a hip on Good Friday, three
weeks ago. 

She was born in St.Johnsbury on Aug. 1, 1920, the daughter of Charles
and Marion (Bisson) Prevost. Her husband, Germaine "Jimmy" Maurice,
died on May 19, 1993. 

She worked as a telephone operator for New England Tel &Tel, and was
a parishioner of St. John the Evangelist Church. Claire and Jimmy shared
a love of music which expressed itself in their participation in the parish
choir and local musical theater. They met through the Notre Dame des
Victoires Boissonault youth club. Their greatest joy was always their 
home and family, a tradition she continued after Jimmy’s death with her
daughter Sue, residing together at their Pleasant Street home. 

She is survived by four children, Lucille Maistros of Havre de Grace,
Md., Raymond Maurice of Bradford, Vt., Richard Maurice of Street,
Md., and Susan Maurice of St. Johnsbury; five grandchildren; two
sisters, Cecile Smith of St. Johnsbury, and Irene Cantin of Lancaster. She
was also predeceased by two brothers, Charles Prevost and Raymond
Prevost. 

A funeral Mass was celebrated on Tuesday at St. John the Evangelist
Church. Burial followed the Mass at Mt. Calvary Cemetery. Memorial
contributions may be directed to the American Diabetes Association, 7
Washington Square, Albany, NY 12205.
