Marguerite Lucia (Beaufeaux) Zbytovsky entered the loving arms of Jesus on February 11, 2025, at the Shell Lake Health Care Center at the age of 79.

Marguerite was born on January 7th, 1946 in Minneapolis, the sixth child of Kenneth and Ethel (Dingman) Beaufeaux and Baptized at St Timothy’s Catholic Church in Blaine, on February 10th, 1946. She attended Woodcrest Primary School in Fridley, MN, before moving to the family farm at Lake Lena in Ogema Township, MN where she attended Bangs Brook Schoolhouse. She then attended Hinckley High School, graduating in 1964.

Marguerite was united in Holy Matrimony to David (Zeb) Zbytovsky on September 21,1968 at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church in Danbury, WI. Marguerite was a very hard worker, laboring alongside her husband in the wood pulp industry for many years. She was a voracious reader, a bountiful gift-giver, and a tiny trinket enthusiast!

Truly a treasure, Marguerite emanated a vibrant personality with an exuberance for life!! She possessed a flamboyant and Spirit-filled character, overflowing with Joy!! She will always be remembered by her “live life OUT LOUD” personality; her colorful stories and contagious laughter; her impulsive driving skills and her faithful Legion of Guardian Angels; her pure devotion to Our Blessed Mother and faithfulness to The Holy Catholic Church; and her Bohemian garments and outrageous hats accompanied by bells, baubles, and fanciful frills! For dear, Marguerite, every day was a PARADE!

Marguerite is survived by 13 siblings: Liza (Eric) Zents, Daniel (Nancy) Beaufeaux, Mike Beaufeaux, Barbara (Bill) Ailport, David Beaufeaux, Jay (Bobbi) Beaufeaux, Katee Beaufeaux, Kevin (Joann) Beaufeaux, Clare Beaufeaux, Tim (EvAnn) Beaufeaux, Becky (Floyd) Engelking, Noel (Patricia) Beaufeaux, and Brian (Anne) Beaufeaux as well as many nieces and nephews.

Marguerite was proceeded in death by parents, Kenneth and Ethel Beaufeaux, and husband, David (Zeb) Zbytovsky.
