Patricia Ann LeFevre

Patricia Ann LeFevre was born on November 7, 1940, in Columbia, Louisiana, to parents Ira Emmit & Thelma Emma Dell Smith. She grew up in Houston, Texas, where she attended school and later met Tom LeFevre. They married in 1957, moved to Luraville, Florida, and had 4 children: Lisa, Lynn, Cory, and Leigh Ann. In 1967, they settled in Daingerfield, Texas, and lived on Lone Star Lake. The family attended South Union Baptist Church. Pat was a homemaker and her joy was cooking and caring for her family. She loved to sew, making many of her children’s clothes, including her daughters’ wedding gowns. She valued friends and community, and enjoyed participating in Bible studies. Her heart’s desire was to serve God and others. As her children grew older, Pat worked for a local optometrist, and then as a church secretary. One of her greatest challenges and blessings was working with a ministry for struggling teenage girls. At the age of 50, she enrolled at Kilgore Jr. College and graduated with a 4.0 average. She worked as a secretary in the college library until her retirement in 2002. She treasured time spent with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and made each one feel special and dearly loved. Family and friends, and so many who crossed her path, were also blessed recipients of her love. Pat passed away peacefully in her home on December 16, 2023 with her family present.She was preceded in death by her parents, her sister, Lawana Ogden, Tom LeFevre, and grandson Randal Free.
