LaVern Beckner was born to Van Monroe and Carrie Clevenger Cauble on September 20, 1933 in Tivoli, Texas. She lived in Cape Conroe, Montgomery, Texas, and passed away at Conroe Regional Hospital in Conroe, Texas on December 12, 2017 at the age of 84. She was predeceased by her parents, a sister and brother, Vannie Elaine and Donald Wayne Cauble, and a granddaughter, Olivia Elaine Lewis.

She leaves to mourn her death the following children: Shelia and Brian McKenzie, Shawn and David Lewis, Dwayne Beckner, Dion and Laurie Beckner; her beloved grandchildren: Anthony and Devin McKenzie, Zachary McKenzie, Alexis and Jason Tangen, Eric and Courtney Beckner, Rayson Beckner, Sydney and Shane Custer, Trevor and Troy Lewis, Tyler Beckner, Shelbi and Lane O’Connor; her beloved great grandchildren: Asher Foote and Murdoch McKenzie, Addison and Cannon Beckner, Harlow and Cruz O’Connor; her loving sisters: Wanda Byler, Agatha Ewing and Dee Bitner. A much loved uncle and aunt: Alton and Karyn Clevenger; a host of nieces and nephews and their families, but special mention for her niece and caretaker, Vicki Carter; dear friends: Evelyn and Robert Lancaster, who have been like family, having met them when she was 11-12 years old. They have always been a part of her life; and DeAnn Greenwood, a close friend since her Continental years. There is simply no room for all the special people who loved LaVern and were loved by her.

LaVern retired from Continental Airlines where she was a valued and loved employee. She was a fun-loving, high-spirited young woman, aptly known for always knowing where the bargains were. She graduated Shopping-- magna cum laude. She was a lover of antiques and would whisk you into an antique store without a moment's notice. She knew each items worth and it was such fun to shop with her. She was a world traveler and made it to some fantastic places and then came home and made you wish you’d been with her. Her last years were not kind to her and it is with the saddest joy to think of her in Heaven. Her wish was to be cremated and there will be a memorial of her life held at her daughter Shelia’s house on Friday, December 22, 2017 from 2:00 - 4:00 p.m.
