With husband, Paul Rumpf, she adored a beautiful home in Independence,MO they built and travels to Europe and home in Germany where they lived until Paul’s too-early passing. Husband, Bill Coart brought her to the South where she has lived since, leaving only to enjoy Siesta Key, FL condo several months of most years, convinced it was the best beach on planet. Laverne’s personality filled up any room and her generosity to all overflowed it. She loved tennis and gardening and shopping and shopping and shopping. She had a decorator’s eye for the house and designer’s eye for clothes. Her cooking and entertaining were legendary, over the top delicious and fun.
