Catherine “Marie” LeLievre (nee Milne)

It is with much sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Marie LeLievre on April 28, 2025 in Burlington, Ontario. Marie passed peacefully in her 96th year surrounded by family, including her devoted husband Brian LeLievre after nearly 70 years of beautiful marriage.

Marie was born in Hanover, Ontario on November 25, 1928. She excelled in her academics from a young age and achieved a university degree in languages at the University of Western Ontario. She was a gifted teacher and enjoyed working with her students. While teaching in France, Marie met Brian on the boat back to Canada. Together they created a family full of adventure and travelled the world across many countries and continents. Marie never underestimated the power of knowledge, education and perseverance. She always encouraged her children and grandchildren to pursue their dreams.

Marie will be dearly missed by her husband Brian, children Christine LeLievre and Phil LeLievre (Deb). She was the proud and loving Grandmother of Kate Bakelaar (Alex), Meghan McLeod (Stephen) and Evan LeLievre. She leaves behind several cherished nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.

Marie is now reunited with her son Stephen LeLievre, brother John Milne (Marg) and parents Hilda and Andrew Milne.

The family would like to give a special thank you to all of the kind staff members at Cama Woodlands LTC who provided excellent care in her final years.

A private cremation service has taken place. A celebration of life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, should you wish, the family would appreciate donations be made to Cama Woodlands Long Term Care, Burlington, Ontario.
