IFrom son, Scott- I have sad news. My mother, LaVerne Phillips, passed away yesterday. She was 88. A 30 year survivor of cancer, she had recently been suffering again from it. She knew many of you or likely knew and worked with your parents during the two decades that she and my dad spent with the Institute which for her began as a volunteer at the 5th City preschool. I found a framed print of her women’s montage which she created and was for a time a fairly iconic piece of Order decor. I asked her to pose with it some time ago after I discovered it in her closet. I hope to find the original as we now go through her things. My mom will be remembered for her enthusiasm and wit and artistry and curiosity and humanity. A great woman has passed! Please have a good thought for LaVerne if you will. We miss her terribly already. On Tue, Feb 19, 2019, 4:01 AM James Wiegel via OE <oe@lists.wedgeblade.net> wrote:

Dear Colleagues,
Betty Hill wanted me to post this message to you all. She is in Jamaica and has asked me to post the following.I will also post it on Facebook.
Nancy Phillips called me about Her mother’s death last Saturday night. Laverne was one of us, and Jim (deceased for a number of years) was a board member. I don’t know how to put the notice of her passing On Dialogue. Can you help? Services for Laverne will be in Florida (Clearwater I believe) March 17th and again in Michigan in July.
Grace & Peace,
Jack _______________________________________________ OE mailing list OE@lists.wedgeblade.net http://lists.wedgeblade.net/listinfo.cgi/oe-wedgeblade.net
