LaVerle was born on December 18, 1930, in Bruceville-Eddy, TX. After graduating from Bruceville-Eddy High School she went to work for Amicable Life Insurance Co and K-Mart. On September 21, 1953, she married the love of her life, Henry Lee Taylor and together they raised two children. LaVerle enjoyed her volunteer work with organizations such as Bruceville-Eddy VFD, BEHS Ex-Student Association, and was a beloved member of Bruceville-Eddy United Methodist Church. If she was not providing her services, you could always find her drinking coffee at the local cafe with many of her friends.

She will be greatly missed by those who were blessed to call her Mom and Nanaw but she will always be in our hearts.
