“Beanie”

LaVerne was reunited in Heaven with her beloved husband LeRoy “Roy” D. Behrens, on her birthday, May 25, 2025, at the age of 97. LaVerne and LeRoy were married over 67 years and their union brought 4 blessed children into the world.

LaVerne was the loving mother of LeRoy (Michele) Behrens, Tom (Terri) Behrens, Cindy (Jeff) Knepper, and Brenda (David) Prochnow. Cherished grandmother of Jami (Jesse) Radant, Danielle (David) Northwood, Nikki (Ben) Sheppard, Tommy (Abbie) Behrens, Tim (Nichole) Behrens, Jessica (Andy Westman) Witynski, Amanda Knepper, Alex Knepper, Matthew Knepper, Tara Prochnow, and Alyssa (Mike Buretta) Prochnow.

LaVerne is also survived by brother David Michel, sisters-in-law Marilyn and Eileen Behrens and Ramona Michel, as well as nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends.

Although her family will miss her and her baking greatly, we take comfort in the fact that she is now back in the loving arms of our Dad and our Lord.

LaVerne’s family wishes to thank the many nieces and nephews who took time over the years to stop by and visit with her – you brightened her days more than you will ever know. They also would like to thank the Staff of Aurora Hospice for their kind and compassionate care.
