LAVERNE KRUZICH Obituary
Laverne was a nurse at St. James and Community hospital until she and her husband moved to Washington in 1966.
She loved life itself, being part of the Bonney Lake Senior center sending everyone cards and encouraging their participation in being involved. She was named Senior of the year for two years in a row. Most of all she loved family get togethers and enjoying her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
After moving to Burlington she continued with her cards to everyone, she loved to be social, card playing, Bunco and having lunch with her friends at Woodgate.
Laverne was preceded in death by her parents and two brothers.
She is survived by her three children, a daughter Carol "Cookie" and (Hal) Pennington, of Burlington; with granddaughter Lori Lyn Larson; a son Tony, (deceased daughter-in-law Charlene) Kruzich of Garrison, Montana; with granddaughter Robin Willse, and grandson Todd Kruzich; and a daughter Vickie (Craig) Hill of Puyallup, with grandson, Joe Hill, Tim Hill, and granddaughter Tisha Hays; and 13 great-grandchildren. Also a special thanks to a "special" friend John Kelly.

Cookie and Family, In meeting you and your mom that day at the hospital was a suprise, but she was such a sweet, loving and caring person. She served her country well and is a dear lady. She will be missed but never forgotten.
