LaVeda was born to Herman and Effie Kluver November 4, 1925 at Spring Ranch, NE.

She grew up on the farm in Spring Ranch, Nebraska during The Great Depression and the Dust Bowl Years.

She is survived by her four children: Robert Stang Jr., Loraine Stang-Ramus and her husband Dwight, Gregory Stang, Toni Pickett and her husband Steven. She is also survived by six grandchildren and eight great grandchildren.
LaVeda worked at the Hastings Nebraska Naval Ammunition Depot during WWII. The plant provided over 40% of the Navy’s munitions. She laced powder bags used in the big guns on battleships and made depth charges.
She loved sewing, quilts, and her beautiful rose garden. She and Robert liked to go dance to country music.
She was a wonderful wife and mom and had a great laugh. She always listened to and helped her family. She cared for and loved them so very well. She was the best mom four children could ever have. She will be forever missed by those she leaves behind.

7 Nov 2019Our deepest sympathy. LaVeda was a great model of support for her husband. She was always sweet to me from our first meeting, and I felt like we were friends. She and my mother shared a birthday and I hope they can meet in heaven.
