So sorry for your loss. We knew each other as children through family, my mom was married to her Uncle Paul and I have very fond memories of Maureen. We played a lot of card games with her brother Zeller, I spent a few months living with them as my parents were away. I even got to go to Brownies with her. She taught me a little crocheting too. We lost touch after my mom and Paul divorced but in the last several years I was reconnected with the family. I wish I had been able to know her better as an adult but she has a special place in my heart. Reading her friend´s memories of her makes me happy to know she remained the same sweet girl I knew.

I had the pleasure of working with Maureen at Colson, Hicks and Eidson. Working with her was such a pleasure. She was always so kind to me and my family. I will never forget her smile, her hazel/blue eyes and her sweet soft spoken voice. Dennis, as you know my family and I will always be here for you. Our deepest condolences.

Gary and I will miss Maureen for her sense of humor and her love of the Oakland Raiders! She always had a fun story to tell and made me feel like I was the most important person in the room when she spoke with me. My children and grandchildren always enjoyed the books Aunt Maureen and Uncle Dennis gave as Christmas gifts! She was a special part of our family and we will all miss her.

We were so fortunate to have reconnected with Maureen and my cousin Dennis in October at my Dad's 90th birthday party in Toledo. We enjoyed talking with them and her love of football and their travels to quilt shops along the way. I was only 12 when they were married at Michigan State but I remember it like it was yesterday. Beautiful wedding and beautiful couple...

In Memoriam: Maureen Lefebvre was one of the kindest and brilliant minds I have encountered in my 15 years as a former Paralegal.
While at Colson Hicks Eidson from 2004-2016, I remember Maureen's precise and carefully crafted research and Appellate briefs, her sense of humor, her voice and blue eyes her devotion to Dennis (her husband) her camaraderie with staff and fellow attorneys, her artfully arranged office filled with eclectic treasures, her love of unique gemstones etc.. but most of all, I remember her hilarious stories about her pets- cats.
She was so supportive, generous with her time, patient to explain concepts in plain English but overall, helpful to any who had a question about a legal issue on a case, a cite or research angle or a personal issue.
Rest in peace Maureen - so well deserved for all the hours of sleep you lost working to help win cases!
To Dennis; take comfort that Maureen left an admirable legacy and was loved and admired by colleagues and friends alike. She was one if a kind. ~ Jennie M. Hausler

Some of my fondest law school memories include Maureen. We shared our love of reading. I was so impressed with her study work ethic, typing up her class notes every day! My condolences to Dennis and all her loved ones.

Loving kind and generous. I could not ask for a better sister-in-law. Dennis and Maureen had the kind of love and marriage that most people dream of. We are certainly blessed to have had Maureen in our lives.
