Lavern C. Bielicki - Age 94.

Passed peacefully into the Presence of the Lord August 22, 2026. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, August (Bill) H. Bielicki Jr.

Born on February 2nd, 1932, Lavern was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She loved babysitting the grandchildren, walking them to school with her favorite dog "Ricky". She loved gardening and had a way of bringing plants "back to life".

Never one to feel sorry for herself nor to complain, her inner strength, kindness and acceptance of others brought real joy to the hearts of everyone around her. A gentle soul that looked forward, ever forward, providing an example of a simple life well lived.

She is lovingly survived by her children: daughter Sandra (Ron) Abendroth, grandsons Kevin (Laura) Fix, Christopher (Carrie) Fix, Scott (Bobbie) Abendroth and Kevin Abendroth; daughter Deborah (John) Strelecki, granddaughter Erica (Daniel) Hall, grandson Joshua (Michele) Strelecki; daughter Dorothy Bielicki and son-in-law Akbar Tavaghoee, grandson Eric (Sarah) Tavaghoee; son William (Suzanne) Bielicki, granddaughters Breanne (Dan) Hrobar and Deanne (Josh) Ratliff.
