Marianne A. (Proulx) LaCroix

Marianne A. (Proulx) LaCroix, 81, a resident of East Bridgewater, died peacefully at Good Samaritan Medical Center in Brockton on Saturday, September 9, 2023 surrounded by her loving family.  She was the wife of Eugene E.

Marianne was a graduate of Brockton High School (Class of 1960) and North Adams State College (Class of 1964). She was a lifelong resident of Brockton until she moved to East Bridgewater in 2004.

Marianne was a past president of the Sacred Heart School Guild, a longtime CCD teacher at Sacred Heart Church in Brockton, and a member of the College Club of Brockton. She enjoyed traveling, cooking, Boston sports, shopping, and ceramics - but her greatest joy was spending time with her family.
