Laverne Scaduto Obituary (1928 - 2021)

Laverne P. Scaduto (Skomer) was born December 25, 1928 and passed away on June 1, 2021. Laverne was raised on the Northwest side of Chicago, IL. She married her husband John in 1948 and they spent 72 loving years together. They enjoyed living out their retirement at Lake Summerset with friends and family. She danced professionally at the Chicago Civic Opera house and worked as an office administrator for the Jalor Company. Although reserved about her abilities, she was an incredibly creative and talented individual. Laverne enjoyed golfing, bocci, bowling, gambling and was a voracious reader. She was a founding member of LSA grams club, an active gardener and enjoyed traveling on land and sea with her husband and friends. Laverne was known for her distinctively wry sense of humor and witty conversation. She was a faithful partaker in a 4pm Southern Comfort Manhattan and often said her favorite thing to make for dinner was reservations. Three phrases Laverne was known to say were, “I’m fine”, “I love you” and “Look both ways”. A special thank you to Heather and Lucy, and the wonderful staff and volunteers of Monroe Clinic Hospice. She is survived by her sister Joan Tomasello, brother Jim (Laurel) Skomer, daughter Kim (Ray) Gauthier, son Jeff (Diane) Scaduto, grandchildren Marla (Simon), Lindsay (Hector), Max (Chelsey), Julie (Brice), great grandson Chase, and numerous nieces and nephews. Preceded in death by her husband John Scaduto and brother in law Tony Tomasello. Cremation rites have been accorded. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in her memory to Monroe Clinic Hospice (N3252 County N, Monroe, WI 53566). McCorkle Funeral Home – Durand Chapel assisted the family.
