Carolyn Lefebvre

Beloved wife, mother, sister, and grandmother, Carolyn (St. Denis) Lefebvre passed away peacefully on May 12, 2026, at 94 years old. She was surrounded by her family and loved ones, including her husband of 76 years, John Lefebvre. Carolyn was a devoted mother to her four beautiful and successful children, John Jr., Susanne, Alan, and Lori. She worked hard to provide them with a life of worldly adventure and unique opportunities.

Born on December 16th, 1931 in Plattsburg, New York, Carolyn was the first of three children to Howard Napoleon and Irma (Roth) Saint Denis. She graduated as salutatorian from Tupper Lake High School, where she met her husband, John. She then went on an ambitious journey to earn her nursing degree, where she progressed into a compassionate pioneer of her field, as surgical nurse supervisor.

The high school sweethearts ventured to Colorado to raise their children and watch their family grow and flourish, John and Carolyn later moved to Chandler, Arizona to retire at the age of 55. They enjoyed their astonishing home on a lake with desert sunsets that Carolyn looked forward to seeing every evening.

Carolyn was a passionate reader. She expressed herself through the art of stained glass and knitting. She spent time traveling the world, indulging in exquisite wine and fine dining. She loved flowers, especially roses and lilies. She navigated through life wearing many hats and with that, her wealth of knowledge was endless.

Carolyn is survived by her husband, four children, nine grandchildren, twelve great grandchildren, sister and brother.
