Lavearl loved to go camping and fishing. She spent countless hours listening to country music, namely Alan Jackson and Johnny Cash, who she had the pleasure of meeting once upon a time. Lavearl enjoyed going dancing and often shared many memories of the time spent at the Coliseum in Oelwein. Lavearl loved playing poker and rummy, which she always took time to teach her children. She enjoyed going to coffee, lunch, and shopping with her dear friend, Barb. Helping her friend, Marge, put puzzles together was another favorite activity. She absolutely adored her family and loved spending time with them. Most dear to her heart were her grandchildren and great- grandchildren. Making people smile and laugh came naturally to her. Lavearl brought joy to every life she touched, and that is how she will be remembered.

Left to celebrate Lavearl’s life are her children: Lisa (Jeff) Smith of Sumner, Troy Waterman of Moline, IL, and Leonard Waterman of Mesa, AZ; her five grandchildren and four great-grandchildren; her sisters: Judy (Ronald) Cue of Oelwein and Delores Crawford of Arlington.

HAVE YOU BEEN RIPPED OF YOUR COINS.

Have you gotten your bitcoins stolen from your wallet or invested in an ICO that turned out to be a scam, you are not alone because this happened to me too. I initially lost $96,000 in just less then five months from Fake investment scam company. My friend referred me to a hacker who helped me recover all my funds within 3 days. I’m speaking up to improve awareness of these cryptocurrency thieves and help as much as i can to reduce victims to the minimum.
