"The Davis Enterprise," Friday, November 22, 2002
LaVerle Ridenour

A funeral will be held Friday morning for LaVerle Ridenour, who died Nov. 17,
2002, in Davis. She was 63.

Born March 18, 1939, in Quincy, she moved to Vallejo and lived there until she
was 12, then moved to Pasadena and Chino, where she graduated from Chino High
School.

She worked as a telephone operator for Pacific Bell until she met the love of
her life, Ken Ridenour; six months later, she was married and traveling to
Montana to start her new life.

After their two children were born, the couple lived in North Carolina, Hawaii,
Texas and California. Following a divorce, she worked as a machinist for the EDO
Corp., then moved to Northern California to live with her daughter and help
raise her four grandchildren.

She knew every movie star who acted during her lifetime, and loved baseball so
much that she could name every player on every team. She was an avid collector
of baseball cards, stamps, Elvis Presley memorabilia and state quarters.

"She was a wonderful, loving and caring wife, daughter, mother, grandmother and
a dear friend to anyone who had the chance to meet her," her family says. "We
will all miss her dearly."

She was preceded in death by her parents, Lucille Moyer and George Anderson; her
stepfather, Lee Moyer; and her brother, Butch Moyer.

She is survived by her children, Kenneth Ridenour and his wife Cindy of San
Lorenzo, and Colleen Martin and her husband Mark of Davis; her sisters, Charlene
Kaiser of San Diego and Carol "Cookie" Jurgensmeier of Salem, Ore; and four
grandchildren, Ryan, Ashley, Brent and Daniel Martin, all of Davis.

She is also survived by several nieces and nephews, Carrie Huston and her
husband Jim of Chino, Carmen Kaiser of Fullerton, Ben Jurgensmeier, Sally
Jurgensmeier, Ty Moyer and Sally Moyer.

A funeral will be Friday at 11 a.m. at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints, 785 Elmwood Drive. Arrangements are under the direction of the Davis
Funeral Chapel.

Memorial donations may be made in her name to the Davis Senior Center, 646 A St.
