LaVonne was born December 20, 1936 in Oregon City, Oregon to Harvey and Marie Richardson.

Her free time was spent enjoying her many crafts including porcelain doll making, ceramics, crochet, macrame, and oil painting to name just a few. After perfecting her oil painting techniques, she began selling her art to many as well as teaching classes to friends in her garage. When she wasn't working on her hobbies, she enjoyed spending time with friends and family.
