Allen J. Soucy

Waterville Allen Soucy went home to be with his Lord and Savior on May 29, 2011 with loved ones by his side. He was born March 5, 1946 in Waterville, the son of Clarence and Geraldine Hamel Soucy. He attended Waterville schools and as a very young boy he delivered the Gritt newspaper with his little wagon in his neighborhood. He worked for Ladd Paper Company and Zimba Construction and then was self employed for the rest of his career as a plaster/painter. He loved his work and was a perfectionist. The business name, "Master Plaster" said it all and his customers appreciated his work ethics and happy personality. He married the love of his life, Lillie in Pittsfield in 1999 and they enjoyed their life together. Cancer plagued him for eight years causing him to retire four years ago. Allen enjoyed hunting, listening to music, especially the blues, NFL football, classic cars, and always keeping his home and yard neat and tidy. He was a long time member of the Winslow Lions Club and LVA Literacy Volunteers Association. His faith was his life and his brothers and sisters in the Lord enriched it tremendously. He was predeceased by his parents, and infant son Henry Soucy. He is survived by his loving wife Lillie of Waterville, a brother Marland Soucy of St Albans, and two special children, a son Christopher Soucy and his fianc Allyson Libby of Madison, a daughter Jennifer Soucy Pearson her husband Brent Pearson and his three grand children he adored, Charlotte, Shea and Nellie Pearson of Waitsfield, VT.; a special "sister", Carol and husband Mike Ouellette of Pittsfield; also many beloved nieces and nephews, cousins, extended family and wonderful friends.
