LaVerne Esther Michelz

LaVerne Esther Michelz (Herte), 87, departed this world on Tuesday, April 9, 2019. LaVerne was born January 31, 1931, in Milwaukee, WI to Elmer and Josephine Herte. LaVerne graduated from North Division High School and retired from Master Lock after 22 years of dedicated service. LaVerne was a long-time member of the Order of Eastern Star, Kilbourn Lodge. LaVerne’s priority was her family. She was generous and caring to everyone; providing sage advice to her children and their friends so often that she was referred to as “Mom.” We love you with all our “Hearts and Livers.” LaVerne will be dearly missed by her loving and devoted husband of 66 years, Arthur Michelz; her children Laura Michelz, Douglas Michelz, and Randall Michelz; her grand-daughters, Carly Michelz, Sema (Tom Andreoni) Taheri, Lauren (Joe) Fieldbinder, and Maisey Michelz; her nieces, nephews, and many friends.
