Lucille L. Dubay

AUBURN/VAN BUREN – Lucille L. Dubay, 92, peacefully entered into Eternal Life on Jan. 24, 2023, at an Auburn nursing facility. She was born August 5, 1930 in St. Leonard, NB, Canada, a daughter of the late Rodolphe and Cecile (Bouchard) Rivard.

She worked several years as a clerk at former JJ Newbury Department Store, Van Buren, but Lucille was a proud wife and mother and cherished raising her children and supporting her husband. Her skilled hands have knitted countless hats, socks and mittens over her many years, which she loved to share with her family and friends. Lucille was also a skilled seamstress, creating many fashionable garments. She was a former member of the American Legion Auxiliary, Post #49, Van Buren.

She is survived by four children, David Dubay and his wife Reba of Austin, Texas, Anne Labbe and her husband Roger of Lisbon Falls, Katherine Dubay of Winthrop, and Jeannine Dubay of Lewiston; two sisters, Marguerite Williams and Carol Rivard, three brothers, Ronald, Conrad and Gerald Rivard; three grandchildren, Eric, Robyn and Simone; two great grandchildren, Drew and Madison; and many nieces and nephews.

Besides her parents, Lucille was predeceased by her husband of 58 years, Hector Dubay in 2008; a son Richard Dubay in 2019; and six siblings, Robert, Roger, Maurice, and Gilles Rivard, Rachel Dion, and Muriel Rivard.

The family would like to thank the staff at Sarah Frye Home for their wonderful care of Lucille.
