LaVerna was a member of St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Utica and the Utica Senior Center. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Music was a very important part of her life and her husband's life. LaVerna thoroughly enjoyed her children and grandchildren making music a part of their lives also. She was always fair in her dealings and loved them all the same. She will be missed.
