LaVerne Hanson Obituary

Well Mom, I am enjoying the fireplace on a snowy morning in Albuquerque. Your pink couch was next to the fireplace at home so you could enjoy looking at the fire. I have enjoyed scanning in photos and seeing you so vibrant and surrounded by family. A family of 5 must have been a challenge. You were the glue for the family after Dad died many years ago. You kept the family together by bringing us home for holidays during our busy lifes. Thanks for raising Brenda, Carol and me throughout the world as Dad traveled in the Air Force. You kept us secure in new and unknown worlds. We will continue the tradition of getting family together. We will miss you.

Thank you to all our family and friends that have responded. It's a great time to remember fun, nice, warm times. Keep Mom, Grandma, Aunt, neighbor, friend, in your thoughts and allow those memories to warm your hearts. She was gracious when we visited her, saying, I was just thinking about you:-) and then thanking us for coming. As you remember stories, events, please come back and post them, they keep our hearts pounding:-) I seem to be missing her more and more every day...Love you Mom, thanks for the life and memories...B

We'll be missing you dearly Grandma. Who will be here to tell us to keep our elbows off the table and not take such big bites! I loved your sense of style, class and appreciation of the arts. I remember staying up late reading with you in all hours of the night, and watching "pretty things" on the television. I enjoyed all our family gatherings, formal dinners, and adventures we all shared throughout the years. You showed me what a real "lady" is and I will always remember that. Love you!

I remember Grandma LaVerne as an open, warm, and loving woman. I am lucky to have been given the opportunity to know her and will miss her.

RIP Aunt LaVerne. I always loved and admired you. You were such a special person not just to me, but to everyone who was honored to call you family or friend. I'm thankful for the times I got to spend with you and learn more about you, your life and our family. The world is now missing a beautiful soul and heaven is all the better for your being there. With much love, Melissa Spann Crockett (Irene Gardner Lowery's daughter)

Brenda and family, I would like to express my greatest sympathy for you all. If there is anything I can do to help you and your family please do not hesitate to ask. Your mother has gone home to the Lord and is now without pain and suffering. May the the Lord help and guide you thru your sorrow.

We have great memories of both Woody and Laverne. Wish we could be there for the service and to be with the family.

Grandma, your smile and laughter will be missed. Our family gatherings were the best thanks to you. You have taught me the importance of family and being there for one another. Love you!

I have good memories of your Mother, Sincerely Lucille Wagner Hanson,Austin, Mn.

You were a beautiful mother and grandmother to your children and grandchildren. It was a pleasure to have known you and your family.

I loved you as a mother and I am so grateful that you were my children's grandmother. You gave us all a lifetime of warm memories of family gatherings to look back on. You had a unique and special relationship with each of your grandchildren that they will never forget.

We miss you dearly

We love you and miss you grandma. She was the epitome of the 50s housewife with style, grace, poise, intelligence, kindness, and generosity.
