She was born May 20, 1935 to Carroll and Grace Marion (Grant) Dakins in Plover, WI. She attended the local grade schools, graduated from P.J. Jacobs High School in 1954, and attended beauty school in Green Bay.
On May 22, 1965, LaVonne married Richard Hanson at Trinity Lutheran Church.
LaVonne worked at the Whiting-Plover Mill before starting at B’s Beauty Shop. She then worked at both Campbell’s and Spurgeon’s boutiques. LaVonne was a bartender at Johnny and Elaine’s and worked at Herrschners before retiring.
LaVonne’s generous and lovable nature was evident through the hours she spent volunteering at the food pantry, Lincoln Center, and the Red Cross blood drive.
