He was born in Binkleman, Nebraska on September 20, 1923 to Francis and Minnie Barnes. At the age of 17, LaVern proudly went into service for his country by joining the U.S. Navy during WWII. After his time of service he returned to live in Nebraska until 1939 when he moved west and settled with family in Yakima where he found work as an orchardist. On October 24, 1953, he was married to Barbara Kroger of Tieton and together they raised five children. As a brother, husband, father, uncle, grandfather, great-grandfather, godfather, and friend, LaVern instilled and fostered a sense of character within all he knew. A proper testament to how he lived might very well be described by his selflessness towards others. Even as they were raising children of their own, LaVern and Barbara opened their home to children in need as foster parents. Within the community he would often generously volunteer his time by performing odd jobs and assisting in general repairs. Even as his health deteriorated and he himself was in need of assistance, he was often found assisting others within the nursing home where he spent his last days. Following his retirement in 1978, LaVern was allowed time to focus upon the finer elements of life. For him these included extended fishing trips with friends and family, nights spent dancing at the local VFW, afternoons spent shooting pool, evenings of pinochle, endless hours in his shop handcrafting various gifts for friends and family, and of course growing his famous Walla Walla sweet onions. He especially enjoyed the time he was able to spend with his family such as Sunday dinners and barbeques. Many of these evenings were spent in laughter and enjoyment with various grandchildren climbing upon their adored grandfather. He especially enjoyed music and would often sing songs to his grandchildren or sit and enjoy the piano playing of his daughter or son. LaVern is survived by his wife of 54 years, Barbara of Tieton; sons LaVern (Phyllis) of Wapato; Frank (Tina) of Cowiche; daughters Charlotte Steinborn and Cindy Desgroseillier (Marc) of Yakima; and Pat Bromm (Dave) of Port Orchard, a brother, Bob (Gladys) Barnes of Denver, CO, two sisters, Mary Lou (Dick) Schut of Yakima and Dora Mae Herman of Cowiche, 16 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in LaVern's name to Hospice House in care of Yakima Valley Memorial Foundation, at Keith & Keith Funeral Home, 902 W. Yakima Ave., Yakima, WA 98902. Visitation will be at 4 p.m., Monday, April 14, 2008, with a vigil following at 6:30 p.m. at Keith and Keith Funeral Home on Ninth Avenue. Mass of Christian burial will be at 11 a.m., Tuesday, April 15th at Holy Redeemer Catholic Church. Burial will be at West Hills Memorial Park. The family would like to thank Yakima Valley Memorial Hospital Hospice for their excellent care of LaVern along with the staff at Summitview Healthcare. Keith & Keith Funeral Home is entrusted with the arrangements.
