She is also survived by three sisters, Florence Martinson, Ethel Mumm and Elaine Hulseberg; and many special nieces and nephews who were very close to her. LaVerne was preceded in death by her son, Kenneth; her parents, Christian and Lydia Huedepohl Moennich; a brother, Arnold Moennich; and a sister, Medora Hopp. Memorial donations can be made to Avalon Hospice in her name or directly to family.
