Laverne Masters Schwartzman

Laverne Masters Schwartzman age 81 of Atlanta, passed away Sunday, January 26, 2020. After many difficult years of heart and pulmonary issues, she bravely and peacefully returned to her Creator God. She was a dedicated mother, grandmother, sister and friend. LaVerne‘s passion for music and specifically playing the organ, was only surpassed by her love for her family.

She is survived by her daughters LeaAnn Hoy (Buddy), Dee Raeside (Mark); grandchildren Adam Hoy (Mary), Megan Anderson, Vincent Antinozzi; five great-grands Annabel and Sawyer Anderson, Abby, Ashlyn, and McKinley Hoy; brothers Nathan Masters (Sandra Lynn), Anthony Masters; and nephews Scott Masters (Brittney)and Harper Lee and Cooper, and AJ Masters, keeper of the flame. Her Chattanooga family includes many dear nieces, nephews and great-grands.
