Lavonne Jeanne Lefevers

away on Friday, September 13, 2024.

LaVonne was born in Guymon, OK, and graduated high school in

Del Norte, Colorado. She met and married Silas LeFevers as he

was attending Lamar Junior College. LaVonne and Silas had four

children and remained married for 60 years until Silas passed in

2014.

LaVonne and Silas lived in New Mexico and Arizona before

settling in Upland, CA, for many years. LaVonne earned her

degree in Library Science and worked for the Claremont Unified

School District for over 20 years. Upon retirement, LaVonne and

Silas moved to their dream home in Mancos, Colorado, where

they enjoyed the Western lifestyle and visits from their

grandchildren and loved ones.

LaVonne loved being a mother and was the heart of the

household. She held the family together and always put everyone

else's needs first before her own. Selfless and giving are the

words that defined her and made her such a loving friend, mother

and wife. LaVonne also loved being a grandmother and took

every opportunity to spend time with them - The house in Mancos

was “summer camp” for Matt, Zoey, Jaime and Kelly.

LaVonne will be greatly missed; she made the world a better

place for all of those around her.

Private services will be held by the family.
