Obituary of Margaret M. LaFrance

LaFrance, Margaret M. (Igoe)

Age 62 of Savage died peacefully at home surrounded by family and friends on February 4, 2024, one year after being diagnosed with abdominal cancer.

Margaret enjoyed the outdoors all year long, a good read, a good bargain, keeping a beverage cold, photography, lazy days at the cabin, being in and on the water, camping, and so much more. Most of all she loved being a mother to her three children and a wife to her partner in love and husband of over 40 years, as well as her pets. She was warm and sincere, the people she met and befriended saw this in her immediately. Always an advocate for what is fair and just, a promoter of good karma. Forever proud of her Irish heritage that provided her with spunk and beauty.

Graduate of Richfield High School, Margaret earned an AA of Applied Science in Mechanical Technology from Normandale Community College and went on to work at Daikin International Replacement Parts Division for over 36 years. She volunteered and served her community in many ways. A member of the Burnsville/Savage Lions Club and the Twin Cities South Chapter of Sleep in Heavenly Peace. She made Savage her home for 38 years and was proud to be a part of the Highland Pond neighborhood.

She is proceeded in death by her mother, Anne Igoe, sister-in-law Carolyn Igoe and is survived by her husband Steve LaFrance, children Shaun, Brian and Stacey, Father William Igoe, brothers Tim Igoe, Dan Igoe (Mary), Mark Igoe, Joe Igoe (Dawn) and her 2 nieces and 4 nephews.
