She loved spending time in the kitchen sharing recipes and new twists on old favorites. She was an avid Iowa State Cyclone fan, having many family ties to ISU.
She was a member of the Winfield United Methodist Church and Church Circle volunteering her time in a variety of ways. She was also a member of T.T.T. Chapter P, Amitie, Crooked Creek Neighborhood Club and the "Granny Clan."

Lavonne was preceded in death by her parents; husband; her brother, Harvey (Evelyn) Sexauer; and her sisters, Edith Bruce and Myrtle Sexauer.
