Laverne loved her family and had a heart of gold! Her favorite pastimes were cooking, spending time with her family, singing and dancing ... she especially loved doing her favorite dance called "The Clicker". - Laverne would open her home and give what she had to people in need rarely turning anyone away, her laugh and smile was 
infectious, and she was the life of any gathering. Laverne was never a "homebody" and loved to travel when she could, she even lived in Salt 
Lake City, Florida for seven years. Laverne had many titles: friend, cousin, aunt, but her most cherished titles were sister mother, and grandmother.
