Margot H. LeClerc

Margot Leclerc of Westbrook quietly slipped away on Monday August 4, 2014. She was born in Bad-Salzuflen/ShÓ§tmar, Germany, a daughter of Heinrich and Hedwig Doepkens. Margot was raised and educated in Germany, graduating from the German school system. Shortly after, she started to work as a civilian employee on the Ramstein/Landstuhl Airbase in Germany and the Siegelbach Switching Ctr. During that time she made up her mind to immigrate, and in 1962 she entered the U.S.A. Once here, she stayed with her sister Lieselotte and brother-in-law William LaPierre. Here she met and married her first husband Sgt. Lester Earl MacDonald â€œBuddyâ€. Lester was killed in action shortly after his deployment to Vietnam. Margot stayed in Westbrook for the rest of her life. Here she raised her son Michael W. MacDonald and met and married Roger J. LeClerc. Together they owned and operated LeClerc/s Service Ctr. For over 40 years. Besides working in the business Margot enjoyed working for Owen Mooreâ€™s, Pinetree Gift & Cards, and Sebago Moc. Being a very fun lover person Margot loved being active in the German-American Club, loved NASCAR racing, dancing the night away with Roger and of course traveling. Her proudest day was when she became a United States citizen. She also made her American High School diploma and was very happy to do so. Margot was predeceased by her parents Heinrich and Hedwig Doepkens and her first husband and his parents. She is also predeceased by her mother and father-in-law Bertha and Dorilas LeClerc.
