On April 24, 1954, LaVerne was united in marriage to Arlie Spangler at the United Methodist Church in Seneca. They made their home in Seneca until Arlie left to serve in the United States Army. The family resided in Ft. Riley, Kansas where Arlie was stationed. Following his service, they moved back to Faulkton.
