LaVerne M. (Carlson) Hilgenkamp age 87, of Colon, died Thursday August 6 at Fremont Health Medical Center with her family at her side.
LaVerne was born in Fremont to Conrad and Lillie Carlson. Except for the last 4 months, LaVerne lived on her home place her entire life. She is a Fremont High graduate and attended Midland College. She married Leslie Hilgenkamp, August 1, 1948 at Marietta Presbyterian Church. Together they farmed, raised hogs and sheep. She loved and cared for her two sons Daniel (Linda) of Searcy, Arkansas and David (Andrea) of Colon, NE.
LaVerne loved taking care of her boys and all of her extended family that meant so much to her. She enjoyed playing the organ, cooking for her family and being a grandma.
