To be held in love—that was our dear friend LeVerle…a fellow dulcimer player, a friend, an inspiration. Joy filled the air when LeVerle entered a room. Through her, love radiated. We give thanks for the wonderful life of Leverle Sappington. Ninety-four years she graced this earth. We in the dulcimer world were the beneficiaries of her most golden years.
LeVerle Edythe Hochstetler Sappington peacefully made the transition, surrounded by loving family, on August 28, 2023. Arrangements are being handled by Johnson Funeral & Cremation Service in Bridgewater.
Several of LeVerle’s dulcimer friends were able to provide some taped selections chosen especially for LeVerle’s service, shared here for those who wish to listen:
