LEWISTON — Lucienne D. Madore, 96, of Oak Park apartments and formerly of Webster Street in Lewiston, died on Sunday afternoon, Jan. 3, at St. Mary’s Regional Medical Center, with family at her side.

She was born in Auburn on Dec. 4, 1919, one of six children born to Alphonse and Yvonne (Jodoin) Lecomte. Lucienne was educated in local schools and remained a lifelong resident of this community. On May 22, 1943, she married Leo Madore, who predeceased her in August 1992.

She was a loving, devoted and hardworking wife, mother and grandmother who will be dearly missed.
