Cindy LeFevre

Cindy Lou (Spencer) LeFevre passed away peacefully at the Kobacker House on Sat Aug 18, 2018. Those who knew her know she was stricken with multiple chronic health issues that limited her mobility and ability to live life to its fullest.

She is survived by her husband, Kenneth E LeFevre Jr. and four children and their spouses; Paul LeFevre, his wife April King, and their children Eli, Dax, and Wes; Hollie McGlamery and her husband Christopher; Serena Gluck and her husband Peter; Alexander Kirk his wife Holly and their child Victoria. She is survived by her mother, LaVon Gwilliam; her brother Alan Spencer and her sister Raquel Spencer. More than just her family, she leaves behind many people who loved her and will miss her -- certainly more than can be mentioned here.

She served an LDS mission to Quebec, Canada from 1975 to 1977. She earned her Bachelor's degree in history at Sacramento State University with four children under the age of 16. She also earned her master's degree in education. She will be remembered most for her role as a teacher. She taught community college, GED classes to inmates at a community correctional facility, and online college courses. She did not just teach academics, she taught everyday life lessons to everyone. Every moment was a teaching moment to Cindy; she constantly served as a role model of a strong, independent, intelligent, driven, opinionated woman. She was also a Mormon feminist and LGBTQ supporter. In the 1990s, Cindy participated in several progressive LDS forums including Sunstone Symposium, Mormon Women's Forum and Affirmation: Gay and Lesbian Mormons.

She had an opinion on everything and was never afraid to express it. She was a royal genealogist before it was popular, even hosting her own website in the early 90s. She was an avid crocheter, home canner, seamstress, and overall pioneer woman. She passed on those skills and passions to the next generation. No one could ever say she kept a tidy house, a fact she took pride in. Her children all remember "BLITZ", a time when everyone scrambled to clean the house before Ken came home from work. She took joy in living a life that was more than just homemaking.

In lieu of flowers or gifts, please make a donation in her memory to camfed.org. It is a charity dedicated to helping educate children in Africa, a cause close to Cindy's heart.
