She had a green thumb and her yard was always in bloom. Elma's home was filled with her teacup and cookie jar collection. LaVerne and Elma were members of the Moose and Eagle Lodge, which she attended until her husband's passing. She loved animals and spending time with her family. Elma is survived by her sister Pratreva Chitwood, her four children Carlina White (Kenny W.)
