M.E. Levsen, 59, passed away in hospice care on Saturday, July 24, 2021, with her ex-husband, David Zahorik, by her side.
M.E. is survived by her family and a lot of friends. She worked hard all of her life and always fought for the underdog, offering assistance to those in need, both people and dogs she found in need. M.E. took pleasure in the simple things like working in her yard and around her house, taking long walks with her dogs, spending time laughing with those around her and watching old movies. She was an active supporter at the local, state and national level for candidates in the Democratic Party.
M.E. will be remembered by those close to her by her amazing sense of humor, her loyalty, her willingness to help anyone who needed help and her tireless energy.
She will be laid to rest in a family plot next to her dad.
Donations can be made to the American Lung Association or your local animal shelter in M.E.'s name. A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
