LaVerne Marion Miller (Feragen)

March 26, 1933 - October 18, 2025 LaVerne passed peacefully on October 18, 2025 at Age Care Malaspina, Nanaimo at the age of 92. She is survived by her daughter, Tara; sons, Kim (Margie) and Randy (Mickey); grandchildren Lance (Amanda), Steven (Lacey), Dale (Des), Dana (Colm), Angela (Brian) and great-grandchildren Casey, Harper, Korbin, Sailor, Isla, Freya, Hank, David and Chloe. LaVerne was predeceased by her husband, Mel; sister, Lois; nephew, Michael; Mom, Alma and in-laws, Jim and Helen. LaVerne was a stay-at-home Mom, very involved with her kids, both at school and extra-curricular activities. She was an awesome volunteer! She was a member of the Scandinavian Club; Eastern Star; Lake Cowichan Seniors' Centre, including the Line Dancers; the United Church, including the choir and the Hospital Auxiliary, rising to Vancouver Island president. She was as much as possible in the lives of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Mel and LaVerne started married life in trailers moving around Alberta and Youbou, BC for work, buying their forever home in Lake Cowichan. When Mel retired, they travelled ~ Canada, Alaska, many of the lower-48 states and Mexico. LaVerne moved to Nanaimo after Mel's passing. There will be a get-together in the future to remember Mom. For now, Mom and Dad are busy dancing up a storm! LaVerne's family wishes to extend their sincere gratitude to the staff at Age Care Malaspina and Dr. Diane Wallis for their loving care.
