She was born on March 7, 1933, in Brillion, WI, the daughter of the late Steve and Cora (VanderLoop) Wittmann. LaVerne was a 1950 graduate of Brillion High School. On November 24,1955 she married the love of her life, Jerome (Jerry) Aloysius Meyer, at St. Patrick Catholic Church in Askeaton, WI. Jerry preceded her in joining their heavenly father on September 29, 2012. As the years went by, LaVerne missed Jerry immensely and has now been reunited with him at their final resting place in heaven. In their life together, they lived in Sheboygan Falls, WI, for 35 years, and then upon their retirement, moved to Kiel, WI, to be closer to their immediate family. They enjoyed gardening together, and Jerry would often bring her flowers from their gardens.LaVerne was employed at Tecumseh in Sheboygan Falls, WI, as an inspector prior to her retirement in 1995. She was a member of the Kiel VFW Auxiliary. With her strong faith, she was an active member of Ss. Peter & Paul Parish in Kiel, WI, belonged to their Christian Mothers group, and ushered mass services with her husband. She loved baking with her grandchildren, especially when they were little, as she often laughed at how "artistic" they could be with frosting the cookies. She enjoyed golfing and was in a golf league for about 10 years. She thoroughly enjoyed playing card games. She loved collecting plates and bells. She always looked forward to their annual vacations in Golf Shores, AL, over the winter months during their retirement years. The family wishes to extend their appreciation to the staff at Caring Hands Assisted Living in New Holstein, WI, and to the staff at Heartland Hospice in Fond du Lac, WI, for their compassionate care of LaVerne.
