She was a member of Holy Trinity Byzantine Catholic Church in Sykesville and she loved crafting. She was also an associate member of the American Legion Post 17.

 

LaVerne and her family were very active in many sports programs in the DuBois area lending their time and talent to organizations such as the DuBois Little League and the DuBois Football Boosters to name a few.
