La Verne Shimkoski Obituary
La Verne Shimkoski, age 85, of Sheboygan, died on Wednesday, August 30, 2017, at St. Nicholas Hospital in Sheboygan. She was born in Sheboygan on May 7, 1932, the daughter of the late Arno and Esther Roehrborn Trempe.
La Verne attended local schools and graduated from Sheboygan Central High School in 1951. Following her graduation from Central High School she helped on family dairy farm for many years. She was united in marriage to Robert Shimkoski at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Sheboygan on September 2, 1961. Robert preceded her in death on August 23, 2012.
She was a proud homemaker, caregiver to her parents and grandchildren. La Verne enjoyed tending to her flower gardens, cooking and spending time with her two favorite canine companions, "Daisy" and "Buddy". She was also an avid Milwaukee Brewers fan and she loved to be outdoors. La Verne was a quiet person, in fact, her high school classmates referred to as being "silent as the night".
Survivors include her son, Ryan Shimkoski, of Sheboygan; daughter, Brenda (Dennis) Doherty, of Plymouth; grandchildren, McKenna Shimkoski, Jordan and Colin Doherty; a sister, Helen Schaller, of Villa Park, IL and her brother, Norman (Josephine) Trempe, of Sheboygan. She is further survived by other relatives and friends. La Verne was preceded in death by her parents, husband, brother, Robert Trempe and brother-in-law, Tom Schaller.
