Margaret (Levesque) Lemanski, 75, passed away on Tuesday, Oct. 5, after a short battle with cancer.

Margaret was born on Aug. 1, 1946, in Bristol, and was the daughter of the late Amelia Martin Levesque and Emile Levesque. She attended St. Ann’s Grammar School and graduated Bristol Central High School in 1964. 

She leaves her two daughters, Rebecca Lemanski and Kimberly Dandelski, and son-in-law Scott Dandelski, her beloved three grandchildren, Corrine Dandelski, Jaden Lemanski, and Brayden Dandelski, her two sisters, Theresa Fredericks of Bristol and Jean Miller of Michigan, niece, Julie Dodman of Mich., an uncle Norman DeGarie of Virgina, an aunt Williette Hammond of Maryland, and several cousins.

Margaret always had a smile on her face and loved the many friends she made over the years. She enjoyed a good social gathering and wouldn’t miss an opportunity to be part of the party. Penuche was her favorite fudge; she was known for her beautiful paintings on slate and was always on the hunt for a rare find “antique.” Her faithful dog, Bailey was a comfort to her in her retirement years.

Funeral services will be held on Monday, Oct. 11. Family and friends may visit between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. at Funk Funeral Home, 35 Bellevue Ave., Bristol, CT.

A prayer service will commence at 11 a.m. followed by burial in St. Joseph Cemetery, Bristol. Flowers are welcome or donations may be made to: American Cancer Society, 825 Brook St., I-91 Tech Center, Rocky Hill, CT 06067.
