Laverne Price, wideeyed young woman with an infectious laugh and the eyes of love, moved to Aiken in 1953 where she not only made a home for her husband children and her grands, she shined a light of grace and love that makes the world better. In spite of griefs and hardships, her spark of joy and kindness never dimmed. She will be missed, not only by her family, but also by her other "family," her numerous friends, her church, South Aiken Presbyterian, her beloved bridge clubs, as well as her caregivers, led by Gail Feldman, who became like family. Always "the best momma in the world," her love lives on.
