Predeceased by her husband Louis Lefebvre (1982) of Argyle; her parents John and Agnes Robinson of Garstang, Lancashire, England; and her sister Bella Akrigg of Halifax, England. Madge was born July 25, 1924 in Garstang, Lancashire, England and moved to Canada in 1945 after marrying Corporal Louis Lefebvre. They settled in Argyle and farmed until Louis passed. Madge continued to live on the farm until she moved to Stonewall in 1987. Madge's skills included baking, knitting, gardening and being a loving mother to her family. She was a cheerleader/coach at her children and grandchildren's sports events / activities. We will forever miss that sparkle in her English blue eyes and her sense of humour.
