Patricia (Patti) Mauro Lefebvre passed away peacefully at home on May 18, 2025at the age of 88. Patricia was born in New Brunswick, NJ on December 17, 1936 to Patrick J Mauro and Virginia DeSando. She was preceded in death by her father and mother as well as her brother Nicholas and her sister Lucille Finnegan. Her sister Francis Greco resides in Cornelius, NC with her daughter Janis Greco.

Patti was married to Normand Lefebvre on May 30, 1987 in Larkspur, CO and they spent 38 beautiful years together. At this point their family grew to 6 children four boys and 2 daughters. Patti’s two sons Ronald Cremo Jr.(Tina), Jeffrey Cremo (Heidi) and Luann Cremo Boyd (Lonnie Boyd Deceased)and Normand’s two sons Michael and Lonnie Lefebvre and daughter Rebecca Lefebvre Tartaglia (David). So far the family has grown to thirteen grandchildren and five great grandchildren. In addition, Patti managed to spread her love and good cheer to her many nieces and nephews throughout the years.

Patti was extremely dedicated to her family, church and many volunteer groups she joined and held offices when needed. She really enjoyed cooking pumpkin rolls for bake sales and assisting the quilting group ladies in making quilts for the annual drawing at St Benedict. Patti loved to crochet afghans, Make her own quilts, needle point towels, and table clothes for gifts for family and friends. Additionally, Patti loved to organize simple dinner gatherings when the entertaining mode struck. Which was a quite often occurance.

In between all of this we did manage to go camping with our dear friends or take snowbird trips when the winter chill and snow settled in. Over the years the our campers accumulated over 100,000 miles going from coast to coast, covering most of the lower 48 states and the Canadian Maritime Provinces . On these trips, she loved searching antique stores for hidden treasures of furniture, hand sewn quilts, or adding to our etched (depression) glass collection and finally finding that special tea shop. However, over the course of 32 years the annual Palisade peach picking and wine tasting camping trip topped the list, we even managed to make it 3 out of the 5 years we were in Florida. Her favorite saying was “we had to circle the wagons”.

She awaits in heaven her husband and special person Normand, and all the family and special friends she came in contact with over the years. She was LOVED and will be sadly missed.
