God Bless Laverne. She was quite a lady. And the most beautiful crochet items that she created! I will forever cherish the tabletop size doily that I received from Amber and Rusty when I was teaching in Plevna. My thoughts and prayers are with all of the family.

Brenda and family, our sympathies for your loss! I’ve heard a few stories over the years from Mike of shenanigans your dad, Mike, and that crew of wild cowboys pulled!! As a mother, I doubt I’d have survived it, and your tough gramma survived them, and then some! What a gal!! I know how you’ll miss her, may she Rest In Peace with her boys who’ve gone on before her!! God bless.

Pauley families we are sorry to hear about Laverne. She was quite the lady! I was honored to get to take her grocery orders when she lived here in Miles City. She was always happy and had a story to share. She loved her family and no one compared to her grandchildren!!! You all are in our thoughts and prayers.
Marilyn & Cliff Schantz says
We are so sorry to hear about Laverne. She was a kind lady. I remember her happy laugh. She was a calm Mother, I remember when Bud was about 2ish and us kids ran into her house saying that Bud fell off the footbridge into the ditch, and she just said, “Yep, I have to go get Buddy out of the ditch again.” It was all good as there wasn’t much water in the ditch. Sorry, Bud, good memories with you, Bev, Bill, Bobby and your Mom & Dad.
Rita Marie and Ronnie says
My dear, one of kind Aunt Laverne will be missed for sure. Aunt Laverne was an absolute joy in my life. I cherish my memories of my time spent with all of my Pauley cousins on the Tongue River. As a child, I first learned how to ride a bike, an old rusty bike, on the gravel road outside of the ranch gate. Aunt Laverne and Uncle Bob took my little sister and I during the summer months to play with our cousins at their ranch and took us to all the rodeos. We spread the sawdust on the country school floor and dance the night away. We sat on Aunt Laverne’s couch in her kitchen and took turns churning the butter. We camped in the yard on hot summer nights. So many great memories, too many to count. We would drive to Miles to visit Aunt Laverne and she would catch us up on the goings on and brag about her kids and grand children. “Top Shelf” was how she described each one of you. Our hearts go out to Bev, Buddy, the grand kids and friends of Aunt Laverne. Much love to you all, Rita Marie & Ronnie
Jodie Burnett-Rhodes says
Rita, Teri and all the families my sincere condolences. I remember her well, I had a parakeet that needed a home and Laverne took it in and cared for it for years. A very sweet and kind soul. May she rest in heaven with her loved ones. My prayers and thoughts are with all of you
