  Obituary: Mona Lucille LaVigne 1931-2024 Mona Lucille (Shannon) LaVigne of Vernon, Connecticut at the age of 92 passed away after a life well lived surrounded by friends and family on April 24, 2024. She was born November 4, 1931, in Florenceville, New Brunswick, Canada. She was the daughter of the late John William and Carmen Lita (White) Shannon. On May 7th, 1951, she married Ralph Edward LaVigne. They were married for 66 years before his passing in 2017. Throughout her life she lived in many places including Canada, Maine, Connecticut, Texas, and lastly Galena, Missouri. In addition to her husband, she was preceded in death by her son, Martin Peter, a son-in-law, Marian Narkawicz, and her siblings Phyllis Viel, Vera Shannon, John Shannon, Barbara Patterson, Shirley Ellis, and Pearl Paterson. She leaves behind her children, Valerie (Peter) Berger of Galena, Missouri, Brenda Narkawicz of Coventry, Connecticut, Kevin (Jane) LaVigne of Happy Valley, Oregon and Cameron (Michele) LaVigne of Fischer, Texas. Mona, lovingly called Mimi, doted upon her grandchildren, Jason (Rachel) Iacobucci, Laura (Enrique) Lima, Rachel (Andrew) Hartman, Jennifer (Andrew) Wilhelmsen, Jessica (Elinor) Howell, Aaron LaVigne, Shannon (Thomas) LaVigne Hill, Cameron (Jacqueline) LaVigne II, PJ Berger, and Daniel Berger. She would light up whenever she was in their presence. Her legacy also includes ten great grandchildren. Mona is also survived by her sister Willa Rickard of Hartland, New Brunswick, multiple nieces and nephews, and Juanita Berger, a dear friend. Mona was a member of Sacred Heart Church of Vernon, CT, for many years. She was famous for her holiday pies and knitting. She also loved traveling and cherished a trip to England with her husband for their 50th wedding anniversary. Each year she especially looked forward to her ritual trips back home to Canada to visit her siblings and family in Hartland. A devoted wife and homemaker, Mona held many jobs throughout her life, but she valued being a mother, grandmother and great grandmother above all else. She was tenacious in her goals for her family and the guiding hand that forged their path, leading by example with love and kindness. She adored her family, and they in turn adored her and brought her much joy. Small in stature but strong in spirit, she remained a haven for her children and grandchildren as they moved across the country and globe. Whether you called her Mona, Mom, or Mimi wherever she was, she made you feel at home. Her passing is a great loss to her family who deeply feel the absence of her love, laughter and smile. It is a true testament of her life and legacy that we all feel her passing at the age of 92 was simply too soon but take comfort that she is reunited with her husband and loved ones in Heaven. Committal and burial service will be held on October 6th, 2024, at 3:00, at Saint Bonaventure’s Catholic Church Cemetery, 1941 Route 560, Lakeville, NB, Canada. https://www.brittonfh.ca/obituaries/179398
