LaVerne Josephine LaRocca Schultz, born November 13, 1931 in San Francisco, passed away peacefully in her home surrounded by family on February 22, 2022. She is survived by her son Frank (Karen Kawanami) Schultz, daughters Suzanne (Steve) Riley, Nancy (Joe) Balestreri, and the loves of her life, her grandchildren, Emily Balestreri, Annalisa (Austin) Cross, and Jack Riley. In addition to her immediate family are countless nieces and nephews and cousins who brought her a lifetime of joy. LaVerne considered all her friends a treasure, including her countless work friends, Bocce Ball buddies, and her water aerobic pals at the Presidio YMCA. In reality, LaVerne never met a stranger; she touched every person she ever met in a profound, permanent way that is hard to describe, but wonderful to experience. Her zest for life, sense of humor, and beautiful spirit will be missed everyday, but will live in our hearts forever. Vai con Dio Noni.
Private Services will be held at the Italian Cemetery. Please make donations to Marin Bocce, Presidio YMCA or the Pomeroy Recreation and Rehabilitation Center.
