Betty was the daughter of William Thomas McGinnis and Isabelle Virginia Roe McGinnis, of Tunnelton, Preston County, West Virginia. She was born at Blaser and grew up near Tunnelton. She was married to Lloyd Harlin Clarke on 6 Oct 1946. She lived for many years in Baltimore after leaving West Virginia.
Betty was survived by her daughter and adopted son, several grandchildren and extended family.
- - - - -
NOTE: Her unusual name was the join of the two first names of her grandmothers (Laverna Plum Roe & Gertrude Wolfe McGinnis, known as Vernie and Gertie).
It has been spelled as Luverna, Luvernia, Loverna, and several other things - both of her parents have written it differently; her family called her Betty. Her father's handwritten birth register has it "Luvernia".
I will make no further edits concerning the spelling of her name unless HER CHILD OR GRANDCHILD should send the edit.
