My Aunt LaVaune was the best cook! When Uncle George and Aunt LaVaune lived on Buchanan Street my girlfriends and I would make a point of stopping by their house, right after school, right at the side door. My memory is of there always being wonderful cakes. Like Betty Crocker cakes sitting on the kitchen shelf, undoubtedly, for her own families dessert. "Can we have a piece? Plllleeeaaasseee?" She never said no. She was a sweetheart of a person, you could look at her and see that in her face. Beautiful, I will always love my Aunt LaVaune

My mother was a wonderful woman. She was caring, thoughtful, hardworking, compassionate, loving and so much more.
My Mother was also a very strong and courageous woman. She fought Breast Cancer twice, colon Cancer once, a broken hip, and a broken shoulder. I really never remember her complaining. What I remember is her going to Church on her lunch hour everyday.
I thought I'd share a story with you about my Mom. She could sew anything, I believe this was her passion. I remember one time when I was about 3 or 4 when she had made some beautiful drapes for our living room. My Dad told me that they were sitting in the living room admiring them and he could see 2 little eyes through the drapes. He said, "Mariette, what are you doing behind those drapes?" I said I was hiding. I had cut 2 eyeholes in the drapes my Mom had just made. My Dad said even my Mom had to laugh. I will probably always remember this story.
I feel like I could stand up here all day sharing stories about my Mother. She taught us all a lot. I feel her most important lessons were nonverbal: her actions. She worked hard, never complained, and was always there when we needed her. I am so glad that a soul remembered is never gone.

On behalf of my sisters Melanie, Mariette, Madeline, and my brother Matthew, I want to thank you all for your love and support at this most difficult time.
I am not going to read a eulogy that sounds like a Facebook timeline of my Mother's life. I do, however want to tell you just a few things that she would find to be most appropriate.
As many of you know we lived together for over 17 years and were neighbors and roomies off and on for years prior to that and during that time I came to not only be very close as an adult child and their Mother can but I came to know her as a friend. A lovely and unique individual.
We had many long talks about very serious things such as life, relationships what we both would have done differently if given a chance to do things differently and why we loved Duncan Doughnuts so much.
After coming to Washington and working for the Air Force at the Pentagon as well as TWA Airlines she was looking to be a wife and Mom.
She never had any regrets about marrying my Dad. She told me that she knew he would always be a good Father.
My Mother loved being a Mom. When we were young, she was a super mom -old school style. She made beautiful clothes for my sisters, kept the house clean and seemed completely unafraid to take five young children shopping…… all at once. She told me all she wanted out of life was a happy family. She could not be more proud for her five children.
After the divorce In her mid-fifty's she returned to the workforce at the Department of Veteran's Affairs and then moved over to the US Department of State where she worked until she retired.
Some people don't know that we carpooled for years when we both worked in the District of Columbia
My Mother was not one for complicated things. She named her cat Kitty and when Kitty passed away the second cat was also named Kitty. It seemed fitting to me.
I know she struggled to reinvent herself after her divorce and her children were grown but she rarely let me know how challenging that was.
My Mother never bragged and never put herself first. Sometimes she felt others did not give her the credit she deserved but she told me once that she felt that way for two reasons…insecurity and because it was true.
She was a good and decent person who struggled at times but kept on going. She kept going because of her Faith. In her later years she became more of a private person but throughout her entire life she never complained. Not once do I recall her ever being selfish or putting herself first.
Today is dedicated to her memory …front and center…today. Mom you are first. You deserve it and we love you.

Mitch and family, I have so many great memories with your mother, from our tea and cookies to just sitting with her showing her pictures of the farm and all the animals. I know all too well how hard things are for you all right now, but find some solace in knowing that Lavonne no longer has to struggle through this life, but instead, shares in the glories and delights of Heaven that she so truly believed in. She is with you at all times in your heart and with you in spirit when you call on her. Hugs and prayers to you all. With Love and Sympathy, Bill
