Marie Lamontagne, youngest of four, was born on October 31, 1939 to Robert Pryce and Clara Simons.
Marie attended school at Ardine school and lived with her parents until 1955, when she moved to Glenavon, where she worked as a telephone operator for two years before returning to the Ardine district for another year of school. In 1958 Marie moved to Regina where she took nurse’s training. She worked as a nurse’s aide at the Regina General Hospital until 1960 when she returned to the Wawota/Dumas area to marry Clarence Lamontagne.
Clarence and Marie were married in Dumas, Sask. on October 22, 1960. Their first home was located at the Willard Jensen farm, six and a half miles east of Kennedy. In 1961, they spent six months in Whitewood while Clarence did carpentry work. They bought the old Taylor Farm, six and a half miles north of Wawota in 1962 which is where they resided until May of 2003 when they sold the farm and moved to Wawota.

She was a wonderful cook (there was always room for one more at the table), an avid knitter, and always had a big garden. She was a long member of the Vandura Hospital Workers and member of the St. Francis Xavier CWL.
