Lefever

Susanne Marie Lefever, 94, of Cabot, formerly of Erie, passed away on Friday, Feb. 9, 2024, at Concordia Lutheran Ministries. The family thanks the staff on Bachman Hall at Lund Personal Care for their patient and considerate care for our Mom.

Born Jan. 24, 1930, in Dodge City, Kan., she was the daughter of the late Thomas Eastergard and Ester Jacobsen Eastergard.

Susanne was a member of the Church of the Covenant in Erie where she was active with the choir. She had a heart for service. She worked part time in nursing facilities as a candy striper and was part of Stephen Ministries. She played her hand quite frequently in the card game of bridge with dear friends over many years. She loved her friends and the many relationships, both old and new, she made over her lifetime both in Erie and Cabot. Susanne traveled extensively and loved making Chex mix and chocolate chip cookies for her grandchildren. Susanne's life was a life well lived.

Surviving are her loving children, Nancy (David) King of Cabot, John (Linda) McDermott of Knoxville, Tenn., and James (Christy Joy) Shiloh of Pasadena, Md.; three stepdaughters, Susan (Don) Eoff, Carol (Bob) Ernhoffer and Wendy Seman; 11 grandchildren; four stepgrandchildren; two great-grandchildren; and four stepgreat-grandchildren.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her first husband, John F. McDermott; her second husband, Howard Lefever; and her daughter, Mary Scott.
