Laverne Elizabeth Hoppenjans (nee: Koch), 97, of Edgewood, beloved wife of the late Paul C. Hoppenjans Sr., a devoted mother and community member, passed away on October 18, 2025, at St. Elizabeth Hospice in Edgewood, Kentucky. Born on June 12, 1928, in Covington, Kentucky, she lived a life rich in faith, family, and music, leaving an indelible mark on all who knew her.
Laverne was a retired realtor with West Shell Realty and was known for her dedication and commitment to her clients. Yet, beyond her professional achievements, Laverne's true joy came from her involvement in her parish community. For over fifty years, she sang with the Blessed Sacrament Church Choir, sharing her vocal talents and love for music. Her passion extended beyond the local community, as she had the distinct honor of performing with the Cincinnati May Festival Chorus at Carnegie Hall and singing at St Peter’s Basilica in Rome for Pope John Paul ll with our local Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption Choir. These are just a few of the experiences that showcased her dedication to her art.
