This obituary has been posted on our website as a courtesy to the LaFevre Family. Our local connection to the family is through Ms. LaFevre's daughter, Susan Selph and her husband Clevie. I remember meeting the LaFevre's on many occasions over the years at the ballfields when the children were playing ball. What faithful grandparents they were. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the entire LaFevre Family.

Meriem, Laura, and Susan announce the death of their beloved Mother, Willene LeFevre, after a long, beautiful life of 93 years. Willene is the daughter of the late William and Vashtie Mims Dempsey of Branford. She is the widow of the late Howard D. LeFevre and the late Raymond Lamar Carver. Willene was married to Raymond in 1953 to 1964, until his passing, she later married Howard in 1967, until his passing in 2005. Howard and Willene lived in Live Oak with their united families with daughters: Meriem Allgood, Laura MacLafferty, and Susan Selph.

After graduating from Florida State University in 1952, Willene taught school for thirty-seven years and retired in 1992. Teaching was her calling and she touched many students and their families over the years. She made each and every child feel special and loved and offered much encouragement. Her greatest passion was spreading the love of Jesus everywhere she went. Westwood Baptist Church was her church for fifty-six years and she was a beloved Sunday school teacher as well. Willene was gifted with a green thumb and spent countless hours in her yard tending to her many flower gardens and grape vines.

Willene is survived by her brother: Mickey Dempsey (Sandra), Branford, FL; her three daughters: Meriem Allgood (Jim), Estero, FL, Laura MacLafferty (George), Tallahassee, FL, Susan Selph (Clevie), Jennings, FL; grandchildren: Keri Hobby (Jay), Luke Selph (Brittany), Taylor MacLafferty, Anna Kathryn MacLafferty, Savannah Blevins, Cole Blevins, Jacob Aran LeFevre, Heather LeFevre; her six great-granddaughters: Addi Lightsey, Aldyn Lightsey, Rilyn Selph, Brooklin Selph, Layla Selph, Lexie Selph; she had many special nieces and nephews from the Land Family, the LeFevre Family, the Dempsey Family and the Carver Family. She was preceded in death by her two sisters: Martha Wolfe and Joann Cumbie.
