Lillian E. (Fortin) Lovegrove

Lillian E (Fortin) Lovegrove, of New Bedford, Massachusetts passed away on Friday April 28, 2023 at the age of 89, following a period of declining health.

She was the daughter of Ernestine (LePage) and Sylvio Fortin. She was a loving sister to Doris Szela, Eugene Fortin and Lucille Violette.

Lillian was a lifelong New Bedford resident and worked for several years at Rodney Metals where she met the love of her life, her late husband Richard W Lovegrove.

After retiring, she enjoyed socializing with her many friends and family. A road trip with a stop at one of her favorite dining spots made for a perfect day.

Often she could be found walking around Sassaquin Pond or Buttonwood Park. Her nieces and nephews will remember her as a fun, kind and loving Aunt.

Lillian’s family would like to thank the staff at The Oaks for the outstanding care she received. We will never forget how compassionate everyone was.

Those wishing may make a donation in Lillian’s memory to the National Breast Cancer Foundation ~ Find Breast Cancer Support Groups in Your Area & Online. Please visit (national breast cancer.org)   

Lillian's Memorial Service to which relatives and friends are respectfully invited to attend will be held at 11AM on Fridy, May 26, 2023 in Sacred Heart Cemetery, Mt. Pleasant Street, New Bedford, MA
