Shirley Lorraine LeFebvre (Mattson), 91, of Nashua, NH, passed away on Tuesday, February 24, 2026, at the High Pointe House in Haverhill, MA.

Shirley was born in 1934 to Morgan Mattson and Astrid Backstrom Mattson in Halifax, Massachusetts.

For many years Shirley worked in the medical community in Lowell, MA for Dr. Ray Gilmore and then All Saints hospitals. Shirley and Marshall raised their family in Billerica, MA and enjoyed spending time on their boat or at their lake house in Maine.

Her family would like to thank the amazing staff at Nashua Crossing Assisted Living and the kindness shown at the High Pointe House for their care and compassion.

Per her wishes, there will be no services to announce at this time. A celebration of life will be held this spring followed by a burial at the Fox Hill Cemetery in Billerica, MA.
