Maurice Paul Labrie

Maurice Paul Labrie, 97, died peacefully on Saturday, December 25, 2021, at Southern New Hampshire Medical Center in Nashua after a brief illness.

Maurice was born in Nashua on May 4, 1924 and was the son of the late Joseph and Helena Labrie of St. Quentin, New Brunswick, Canada. He attended schools in the Nashua School System and continued his education at the University of New Hampshire. He graduated with his bachelor's degree in Business Administration.

He proudly served his country in the United States Army during World War II where he saw combat in the European theater as part of the 75th Infantry Division. He was honorably discharged and was also a Purple Heart recipient. He was a proud veteran and a member of many organizations including the Catholic War Veterans, the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the NH American Legion, and the Knights of Columbus. He was a lifelong employee of the United States Postal Service and served as postal supervisor for the Nashua region for many years.

In his free time, Maurice loved to play cribbage, was a various reader of books and newspapers, and an avid sports fan. He especially loved his Boston Red Sox, despite often cursing them. Maurice was also a solid golfer and would play several times a week at area courses. He was a devout parishioner of St. Louis de Gonzague Church for his entire life and volunteered for many church committees. He also had a keen shopping eye. Maurice was happiest with a plate of fried seafood in front of him and sweets for dessert. He was a kind and loving person, was very fond of his caregiver of several years, Louisa, and will be missed deeply.
