Theresa Marie Lacroix (Nellis)
Marie (nee Nellis)  Lacroix   It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our mom, Marie (Nellis) LaCroix. Born in Grande Prairie, she was raised in Bezanson with her siblings and her many cousins as playmates. As a young lady, she easily made lifelong friends. She always spoke fondly of the carefree years when she attended the GP High School and stayed at the Wapiti Dorm. Marie married very young and had 4 children by the time she was 23. The family moved many times, finally settling in Edson. At the young age of 34, she met the man she would spend the rest of her life with, Wayne Johnson. Marie and Wayne eventually left Edson for Tumbler Ridge BC and finally made the move to their acreage in Bay Tree AB – affectionately known as Dog Patch. Marie and Wayne made some wonderful lifelong friends in Bay Tree. After Wayne passed, Marie moved to a senior's complex in Edmonton and was able to spend a lot more time with her kids and grandkids. She really enjoyed her time there and was becoming a very social person again.
   She unexpectedly became ill and then passed away peacefully on February 13 with her children and granddaughter by her side. Marie was predeceased by her parents Lloyd and Lorna (LaValley) Nellis, her grandchildren Jolene and Marcel Rondeau, her step-daughter Tanya Johnson, her sister Lois Charney, her brother Roger Nellis and her common-law husband Wayne Johnson. She is survived by her children Valerie (Randy) Montgomery; Cheryle LaCroix– Rainley LaCroix; Wendy (Etienne) Rondeau– Antoine Rondeau; Roland (Cindy) LaCroix–Ava LaCroix, Adam LaCroix, Lauren LaCroix and Kale Simmons. She is also survived by her step-son Shawn (Lisa) Johnson–Morgan, Garrett; her brother-in-law Norman Charney and sister-in-law Donna Nellis as well as 3 nieces–Leah, Tara and Breana and 3 nephews–Doug, Darren and Rob.
   The family will be hosting a memorial service for Marie on Friday, May 11, 2018 at 11:00 am at the Golden Age Centre in Grande Prairie. Contact Valerie Montgomery at 780.538.0097 for further information.
