Mary Elizabeth LeDoux, 92, beloved Wife, Mother, Grand Mother, Aunt and Sister, passed away on her 92nd birthday on December 26, 2019 at her home in Lakewood, Colorado.
She is preceded in death by Husband, David R. LeDoux, Son, Michael Hart and Sister, Helen Lash. Mary is survived by Brother, Charles Thrasher of Kansas and Sister, Lucille Wells of Illinois and her step-children, Patsy (Jack) Monson, Jacob (Juanita) LeDoux and Carmen LeDoux, numerous Grand Children and Great Grand Children and many loving Nieces and Nephews.
Mary was born on December 26, 1927 in St. Elmo, Illinois to Mother, Anna R. (Washburn) Thrasher and Father, Jacob L. Thrasher. She grew up in Illinois and moved to Lakewood, CO, where she raised her son Michael. She met and married David LeDoux while working at the Federal Center in Lakewood, Co., where she worked as a Medical Assistant and Receptionist. Upon David's retirement at the Federal Center, they moved to Las Vegas, NM and became active members of the community. They returned to Colorado in the early 90's and in 2018, Mary settled into a lovely retirement community in Lakewood, CO.
Mary was a very strong, passionate woman with a great sense of humor and a role model to all the family. She showed us that a woman can do anything she put her mind to, a mind that was very strong and clear up until she took her last breath. She was not afraid of a hard day's work. She enjoyed quilting and was very skilled at making beautiful hand made quilts. Mary was the Family Historian traveling throughout New Mexico with David, researching and documenting the LeDoux family genealogy. Her endless research and contributions to the family and genealogy publications is priceless and will live on for future generations.
Mary will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her. May she rest in peace.
