. LaVerna C. Schrader, aged 73 of Wyoming, went to be with our Lord on Thursday, July 2, 2015. She was preceded in death by her parents, Louis and Leona Kosik. She will be dearly missed by her loving husband of 53 years, Don; children, Dawn and John DeRidder, Bonnie and Craig Johnston, Gregory and Brandi Schrader; nine grandchildren; and thousands of friends. LaVerna was a loving, caring woman who always put others first. She was happiest helping others and was her grandchildren's biggest cheerleader. She naturally attracted those who needed help and always made sure their needs were met. LaVerna was known to "converse" with the referees asking, "Is this your cell phone? It must be yours because it has a lot of missed calls!" A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Tuesday at 11:00 am at St. John Vianney Church, 4101 Clyde Park SW, Wyoming.
