LaVerne was born February 23, 1920 in Marion, MO to A.O. and Elsie Bolin. She spent most of her adult life in the state of California, where she married Earl Rogers, whom preceded her in death.

The mice were sold at many of the Veterinarian offices and pet stores in Columbia. Proceeds from the sales were donated to Columbia 2ndChance.
Mom, We will miss you so much! You were the best Mom & Grandma we ever had. Your love and wisdom will be missed. Our fun times in Yosemite are memories we will never forget. Thank you Mom for all the fun memories you left with us. You are now with Dad & your Lord. Love and HUGS, for ever, until we meet again! You have left a wonderful legacy behind!
We love you forever and will remember all of the love and fun times we had together. You have been a blessing to us.
From Helene: Thank you for being such an important part of my life and teaching me about so many things as a child through adulthood. I’ll miss you and our talks, but I know that you are at peace in the loving arms of God and surrounded by the loving spirits of those who have passed before you.
I love you!!!
We were so sorry to hear of LaVerne’s passing this afternoon. She was such a special lady that was a love to have as part of our “family” here in California. She would join us at Thanksgiving and Christmas along with my Grandmother Emily Campbell. I just found out today that she had fallen ill and was searching for her phone number to call…Our family was so sad to find we were too late 🙁 Be proud of her as she was truly one of the most gracious and sweet ladies that we have ever known…she had a heart of gold…We will miss her dearly and also her yummy Snicker-doodles she would bake send to us at Christmas…Our thoughts and prayers are with your family at this difficult time.
Regards,
The Mello-Roach and Herrlich Families
So sorry to have heard of LaVernes passing. She was a big part of our lives in Calif.Spent many holidays with her she was probably the nicest woman I have ever met. She had sent my daughter a couple of her famous cookie recipes in the bginning of December and it fell between her car seats and she just found it today ( Feb 4). So are extremely remorseful that we werent able to talk to her and tell her how much we loved and appreciated who she was and will never forget her. She sent us holiday and birthday cards religiously. Have no doubt that she has a great place next to Jesus. Again so sorry for your loss wish we had found out sooner.
Dear Family of LaVerne:
Bob and I were so saddened when we learned of the passing of our dearest LaVerne. We kinda “adopted her when she and Elaines’ mother Emily Campbell were living in the same adult apts. She kept my mother company and they played cards and games almost every night.
LaVerne kept a very cherry atmosphere always and supported me when my mother was put in a convalence home.
Bob and I included her at Thanksgiving and remembered that was her Birthday time as well. We also had her at our house for Xmas and enjoyed her cards. Her cookies were the highlight of our dinners. Most of all her peanut brittle.
She came to the horse shows to watch our grandchildren whom she was very poud of. She also came to their Awards Banquets to share awards with them.
She was so pretty and always coifed o the max. I know she liked bright colors.
We loved her and wished we knew she had been ill as she never mentioned anything in her cards she sent us. Love, love, loved her and will think of her at our birthdays and all the holidays. Elaine spoke to her on the phone on occasion after she left Calif. and want you cousins to know she appreciated you and love socializing with you. Best to all and want you to known we will be grieving with you but know LAVerne lived happy moments and was very wise. Bob and Elaine
She was my bridesmaid 62 years ago in St. Louis
