Lavonne was my mother. Though we hadn’t been together for many years, I held you close to my heart lining to see you again.
I’m so grateful we got to reconnect somewhat chatting on Messenger the last few years. I Love You & will miss you terribly now that you’re gone.
Til we meet again in Paradise ❤️
LaVonne is my older sister. We are only 18 months apart. I was deeply saddened to here of her sudden and unexpected passing. We grew up in a small Upstate New York village called Harpursville and lived in an even smaller hamlet called Center Village. Vonnie attend Harpursville Central School from kindergarten to the 12th grade, graduating at 17 years old. At 18, "Vonnie" struck out on her own, never stopping until she met her husband, Lee, and made it to Shamrock Texas. Vonnie was 1 if 9 children in a "blended " family. Her family consists of her daughter, Tonya, her brothers Bill Jerry, Jeffrey, and Brian, , her sister Dona, her step sisters Cheryl and Diane, her step mother Edith Iveresen, her grand children and her cousin Rachel Wescott. Vonnie was predeceased by both sets of grandparents, her father Alton Carpenter, her mother Joan Dunshee, her Aunt Anna Mae and most recently, her step brother Michael Whitaker. Vonnie was as strong and determined as she was kind and loving.
With the help of her family and faith, Vonnie was sober for many years. A prime example to others that determination, courage perseverance and faith could accomplish any difficult goal. I will always remember our life together. The good, the difficult, the happy, the sad, but most of all, I will remember how Vonnie always saw the good in people and the hope in tomorrow. All of your family loves you and will miss you dearly. I will especially miss our monthly texts and phone conversations.
Please look down on us and say a prayer for us. Until I get to see you and your lovely smile again--
"Love you bunches"
Your "Big" brother, Bill
To my Dear Sister LaVonne,
I will always cherish the memories of you taking care of me as a baby. In our later years, your texts were a bright spot in my day. I especially enjoyed them when we spent New Years Eve watching the ball drop and listening to the bands play as we reminisced and joked about the how we aged and could barely make it to midnight.
Your wonderful spirit and joyful laugh will never leave my heart!
God Bless and be sure to say Hello to everyone for me.
Love you bunches!
Little brother Brian. Xoxo
Lavonne always had a kind word. We were very blessed to have in the community. She will definitely be missed.
Lavonne was a dear friend and I will truly miss her smile and hugs! Rest in peace my dear friend
