Community mourns loss of beloved drag queen and performer Margaurite LeMay

Michael S. “Margaurite LeMay” Hayes, a beloved member of the performing group The House of LeMay, died from a heart attack on Sunday while out on a walk. LeMay Hayes was a Burlington resident, drag queen, and an important figure in the Burlington arts and activist scenes for decades. The House of LeMay has been active in the Burlington community, performing shows that have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for local charities and organizations over the past three decades. A celebration of LeMay Hayes’s life will be scheduled for later this spring.
