Obituary for Margaret M Lefebvre
Mother and retired hospice health aid Meg Lefebvre’s love of life didn’t come to an end with her death.
Meg passed away peacefully on July 19, 2022 at the age of 63 in the comfort of her home after a
courageous battle with cancer, surrounded by love ones who will continue to honor her legacy by living
their lives to the fullest.
Meg was born March 19, 1959, grew up and lived in Shelburne, Vermont, where she was affectionately
known as Muffin. After completion of high school and a year at Johnson State College, she moved to
Cape Cod, attended Community College, and started her working career with EF Hutton, was married and
raised her family. After being a full-time mom for many years, she then started a 20-year career as a
hospice and health care provider finishing her commitment to patients comfort at The Bridges near her
home in Mashpee. Meg’s pride was her children and she shared that passion with many over the years.
The simplest pleasures in life brought great joy to Meg. She loved evenings with her friends at Quashnet
Valley, seasonal gatherings with her friends from Vermont, and a glass of wine in hand. She had an
uncanny ability to find happiness in her daily activities and her pleasant personality was contagious to
everyone she met. Meg is survived by her daughter Taylor Downey of Mashpee, Massachusetts; a
brother and sister-in-law Jack and Sandy Milbank of Hinesburg, Vermont; cousins, nieces, and nephews.
She was predeceased by her son Adam Downey in 2016.
Meg’s family extends their gratitude to the friends, caregivers and health care providers that assisted
her through a very difficult time.
Per Meg’s wishes interment will be private and a celebration of life will be held in early fall. We are in
the process of planning and will announce details soon. Arrangements are by Bartlett Funeral Home
and the family invites you to share your memories and online condolences by

Consider visiting a loved one at a nursing home, or donating to the Beacon Hospice of Hyannis or The
Bridges of Mashpee in remembrance of Meg.
