Ernest "Chico" Corriveau

Lyman

Ernest E. Corriveau, 90, of Lyman, passed away surrounded by his family on Sunday evening, March 29, 2026, at home.

He was born in Biddeford on September 18, 1935, a son of Albert and Irene (Cabana) Corriveau. He graduated from Biddeford High School.

After high school, Ernest served his country in the United States Air Force.

Chico met the love of his life Sandra, and later got married on November 14, 1964 at St. Margaret's Church in Old Orchard Beach. The journey began as they raised five children together.

Earlier in his working career, Chico worked for Maremont Corporation in Saco. He later continued his work at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard where he dedicated many years of service before retiring. After retirement, never one to sit still, Chico stayed active and went on to do property maintenance for Baywood Colony in Saco.

Chico had many passions and interests. As his children were growing up he dedicated his time as a Little League coach in Old Orchard Beach. He enjoyed spending time playing golf at Biddeford-Saco Country Club and loved to express his creativity through woodworking. Most of all he loved his large family and the time they spent together. He cherished those times and spoke highly of them right up until his passing. He will be sadly missed by many.

He was predeceased by one sister Laurette Corriveau, one son Mark, and one nephew William.

He is survived by his wife Sandra Corriveau of 61 years, four children Karen Corriveau, Paul Corriveau, Paula Cooper and husband Richard and Kristina Thyng and husband James. He also leaves behind his 15 grandchildren, 25 great grandchildren, sister Lucille Whitten and one niece and one nephew.

Services are private. Arrangements are by Cote Funeral Home, Saco.
