Margaret Frances LeFevre, 88, of Plattsburgh, NY, passed away peacefully on September 29, 2021.
Born Margaret Frances Oros on December 3, 1932, in Cincinnatus, NY, to the late Julius and Rosa Oros.
She married the love and “sunshine” of her life Eugene Stephen LeFevre on June 20, 1957. Gene and Margaret were devoted to each other for 57 years until his passing in 2016. She is survived by daughters, Denise (David) Wetterhahn of Adams NY, Renee (James) Petrashune, of Dannemora, NY, and son Michael (Lynn) LeFevre, of Latham, NY, along with five grandchildren, Lauren (Nate) Wetterhahn, North Syracuse, NY; Madeline (Ryan) Wetterhahn, Madison, WI; Daniel Wetterhahn, Los Angles, CA; Maxwell (Meagan) Petrashune, Dannemora, NY; and Michael LeFevre, Venice, CA. Margaret is survived by her sister Helen (William) Bowers of Webster, NY, brother-in-law Arthur LeFevre, Plattsburgh, NY, sister-in-law Nancy Frenyea, Morrisonville,NY, Anna LeFevre, Cary NC, and many nieces and nephews. Margaret is predeceased by her sister Rosie Oros Burrows, brothers Joseph, Julius, John and Louie Oros, sisters-in-law Marielle LeFevre, Therese Tessier, Blanche LeFevre, and brothers-in-law John Frenyea, William Tessier, Gilbert and Gerald LeFevre.
Margaret grew up on the Oros dairy farm and graduated from Cincinnatus High School. After high school she worked at Smith Corona in Cortland NY, as a machinist/typist before meeting the love of her life, Eugene.
Margaret’s greatest joy in life was the love and pride she took in her husband, three children and five grandchildren. Margaret was a devoted wife and supported Gene’s 44 years in NYS corrections. They possessed strong work and family values and passed those on to their children and grandchildren.
Margaret and Gene liked to travel and especially enjoyed their trips to Florida when they could bring the grandchildren to the beach! Margaret was creative and talented. She learned to create beautiful afghans with guidance from “Meme LeFevre,” taught herself how to make latch hook rugs, enjoyed canning and creating Hungarian meals (that unfortunately her children have been unable to duplicate), crafting ceramic figurines, dancing the polka, and singing to country and oldies music!
A special “thank you” to the amazing caregivers who demonstrated compassion and love for our Mom. We are grateful to you all.
