Berard Corriveau

Lillian Berard Corriveau, 86, of Greenville, passed away peacefully at home on Sunday, November 8, 2026.

Born in Woonsocket, Lillian was the daughter of the late Philip Berard Sr. and Alice (Simone Vincent) Berard.

Lillian dedicated 50 years of her life to serving the Rhode Island Department of Health, where she worked as a Supervising Environmental Health Food Specialist. She proudly made history as the first woman to serve as a food inspector, paving the way for future generations through her dedication, perseverance, and commitment to public service.

While her professional accomplishments were remarkable, Lillian will be remembered most for her extraordinary generosity, kindness, and boundless spirit of giving. She had a genuine heart for helping others and touched countless lives through her compassion, thoughtfulness, and selflessness. Her warmth and willingness to give of herself left a lasting impression on all who had the privilege of knowing her.

She leaves behind her brothers, Phillip “Pete” Berard and Richard O. Berard, as well as many cherished nieces and nephews. She is also survived by her beloved members of her adoptive Corriveau family, who held a very special place in her heart.

She was the sister of the late Lorraine (Berard) Patrice, Lucille (Berard) Johnson, Edward “Eddie” Berard, and Louise L. (Berard) LaFerrere.
