Marie Viola (Chasse) Beverage

St. Agatha, ME.

 Vi was born second of nine to Eddie Chasse and Artheline Lausier Chasse in 

Madawaska. She passed away peacefully after a valiant four month battle with 

brain cancer on April 26, 2021, one day after her 92nd birthday. She was a strong, 

active and independent woman who lived her life on her own terms, but always 

with compassion for others. While living in CT she owned and operated a dog 

grooming business and retired from the Sheraton as a manager of the 

housekeeping department, earning the award of Manager of the Year in 1989. 

Following her retirement, Vi returned to Maine in 1992. She was an avid reader 

and not afraid to try new things, taking up fishing, snowmobiling and riding ATV's 

when she was in her 60's, continuing these activities well into her late 80's. She 

was always involved in a project, which probably included knitting, gardening, 

refinishing furniture or repainting rooms around her home. She is survived by two 

brothers Harold of Yountville, CA, Gerard of Van Buren, two sisters Alouida Dubay 

of Caribou, Wilma Madore of Old Saybrook, CT, along with numerous nieces, 

nephews, and cousins. She also leaves behind her special life long friend Louise 

Bouchard of Lewiston and her children Elaine (Gary) Spieker and their children 

and Jane (Jack) Coke and their children, all of whom she considered her adopted 

family. She was predeceased by her husband Alton, two brothers Nelson and 

Donald, two sisters Sr. Dorina Chasse, Sisters of the Good Shepherd and Julia Roy. 

Viola will be buried in New Hebron Cemetery in Hebron, CT at a later date. Due to 

Covid Restrictions, a Funeral Mass will be celebrated at the St. Agatha Catholic 

Church for Family and Friends. Condolences may be sent to
