LaVerne graduated from St. Joseph Hospital School of Nursing. Always one with a servant's heart, LaVerne shared her talents as a nurse with several area doctor's offices for many years and also cared for friends and loved ones in her own home. She had also worked part-time at Nussbaum Trucking. LaVerne was an avid quilter and enjoyed playing cards with her family and friends.
