LaVerne G. Ule

"Laughter through tears is my favorite emotion." - Robert Harling

Cherished wife, mom, sister, aunt, and friend, LaVerne G. Ule, quietly

passed away on September 19th, 2024, at the age of 83.

She left us with her humor intact.

LaVerne was born in her grandparent's home in Granton, Wisconsin

on October 6, 1940, to Gordon and Emmoline (Sternitzky) Revling,

and lived the majority of her life on and next door to her parents 

farm in Auburndale.

On September 6, 1957, she married her only love, Norman Ule in

Dubuque, Iowa, as they were too young to receive a license in 

Wisconsin. They returned for an official ceremony the next day at

St. John's Lutheran Church in Auburndale. LaVerne then followed 

Norman to Biloxi, Mississippi where he was stationed in the

Air Force. They started their family in Florida before returning to

Wisconsin.

LaVerne was a young mother and homemaker who enjoyed fishing,

gardening and always sewing new outfits for her girls. As the kids

grew, she and Norman explored much of the state on snowmobiles.

She worked alongside her husband on building sites, painting and 

refinishing homes and apartments he worked on.  In their later

years, they enjoyed their occasional trips to casinos. LaVerne loved

birdwatching and her backyard were a haven for Orioles, Cardinals,

Bluebirds, Mourning Doves, and Hummingbirds. And, regrettably,

because of the cedar siding, Woodpeckers.

LaVerne was known for her sharp wit and quick humor. Something

her children and grandchildren obviously inherited.

LaVerne leaves behind her beloved husband of 67 years, her three

children, Keith (Peggy) Ule, Kim (Joseph) VanDerLeest, Kandy (Glenn)

Watson, four grandchildren, Jamie (Ryan) Horswell, Luke Peters,

Jacob Peters, Amanda (Jordan) Hoffman, six great-grandchildren,

Collin, Aria, Justin, Karma, Brooklyn and Charlie and one brother

Ron, plus many brothers and sister-in-laws, nieces, nephews and 

extended family.  She is preceded in death by her parents, brother

Don, her daughter-in-law, Peggy, and son-in-law Joseph.

Those wishing to express their joyful memories and laughter are

encouraged to join all those who loved LaVerne at her Celebration

of Life on Friday, October 11th at St. John's Lutheran Church

Auburndale. Visitation will be held 9:00 am until the time of the Service

11:00 am to noon. A luncheon will follow.

The family wishes to express our gratitude to the kind caretakers

at Three Oaks Health Services along with our apologies regarding

how often they had to hear about her beloved "babies," Gracie and Ruby.
