HOULTON and LIMINGTON – Margaret “Mag” Dunphy Levasseur, 59, passed away June 1, 2010, at Mercy Hospital, after a short illness. She was born March 26, 1951, in Houlton, daughter of the late Gerald and Dorothy (Shaw) Dunphy. Margaret graduated from Houlton High School in 1969 and went on to graduate from the University of Maine at Presque Isle. She was a physical education teacher for 37 years at Bonny Eagle Middle School and had been a clan leader at the school. In 2008 she received an award from the school for outstanding leadership and service to SAD 6. She had also been a longtime field hockey coach, for which she was the feeder system for many state championship teams. It was her leadership and passion for her students and sports that enabled many of the sports programs at the school to succeed. She enjoyed golfing, playing cards, puzzles – especially Sudukos – and being with her cherished friends. Mag was a member of M.A.H.P.E.R.D and Salmon Falls County Club, where she served on the board of governors and held the club championship for several years. Margaret is survived by her brother, Bert Dunphy of Houlton; a cousin, Mary Tilton of Florida; and many beloved friends and students whom she considered family. A graveside memorial service will be held 1 p.m. Saturday, July 10, at Evergreen Cemetery with the Rev. Jessie Drysdale officiating. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in Margaret’s memory to the Faith Littlefield and Flossie Smith Scholarship Fund, Bonny Eagle High School, 700 Saco Road, Standish, ME 04084.
