Laverne Lucille Schwacher

Schwacher, LaVerne L. Passed away on January 23, 2007, at the age of 78 years after a long battle with various illnesses and conditions following a brain aneurysm in 1998. LaVerne, a Wisconsin native, received intensive hospital rehabilitation at the Medical College of Wisconsin and subsequently moved to California in 2000, where she received continuing treatment. Prior to her illness, LaVerne had helped to care for aging members of the family and was an enthusiastic participant in the Woman's Health Initiative study-a result of her strong desire to ensure that future generations of women would have healthier lives.

LaVerne is the loving mother of Debra (John) Vogler and Nancy (Chad) Browne. Beloved sister of Donald Przybylka. Dear niece of Lorraine and Rosemarie. Dear aunt of Kathy.
