LaVerne, in the meantime was teaching Home Economics at Muenster Public High. She taught there from 1954 until retirement in 1960. Still, until even now, LaVerne had received calls and letters from former students.

LaVerne was an amazing seamstress, fabulous cook and great homemaker. She lived her life walking with her Lord with a heart to serve him.
