It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Micheline Lapensée (nee Lefebvre), who passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on January 16, 2026 at the age of 81. She was the daughter of the late Alexandre Lefebvre and the late Fernande Lefebvre (nee D’Aoust), and the beloved wife of the late Jacques Lapensée.
She leaves in sorrow, but with wonderful memories her children Christian Lapensée (Jessica) and Nathalie Lapensée-Winder (Andrew). She was the cherished grandmother of Patrick Winder (Nadine Gingras) and Annik Winder (Hughie Brooks), and the proud great-grandmother of Blake Winder and Eddie Winder.
She also leaves to mourn her brothers Serge Lefebvre (Francine) and Guy Lefebvre (Sylvie), as well as many nieces, nephews, and friends. She was predeceased by her sister Monique Lacombe (George).

The family is touched by your condolences and thank you for your expression of sympathy.
My sincere sympathy to all the family. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time
I was saddened to hear about Micheline’s passing. We shared so much of our childhood – school days, playtime, birthday parties, skating and so many hours spent at her parents’ house, Fernande and Alex. Those years, and the time spent with Mimi and her older sister Monique are memories I’ll always hold close. Though we lost touch as adulthood began, I’ll always remember her with warmth and affection.
My sincere condolences to her family and loved ones.
R.I.P. chère Mimi
Goodbye, dear Mimi . Christiane and I will always cherish the memories of your time in our little village of Alfred. As back neighbors, we’d often visit your parents’ shoe repair shop, and you were in the same class as my sisters Reine and Liette.
Even at 81, your charm and beauty shone bright. We have fond memories of swinging with you and your sister Monique.
Our heartfelt condolences to Serge, Guy, their families, and the Lefebvre, Lapensé, and Winder families. May Mimi’s memory bring you comfort and peace .
Sincères condoléances à toute la famille et de plus une marque de sympathie toute spéciale pour Serge et Guy. dont j’ai cotoyé, à Alfred au cours de ma jeunesse.
