A Tra- ditional Funeral Service will be at 11 a.m. on Friday, February 19, 2016 at the Richland Method- ist Church in Richland, Oregon. Interment at Eagle Valley Cemetery. Friends are invited to join the fam- ily for a potluck reception, following the internment at the Eagle Valley Grange. Mae LaVonne Raupp was born on February 28, 1940 in Muskogee, Oklahoma a few minutes before her twin sister, Laverne. She passed peacefully in her home, with her husband Don at her side, in Rich- land, Oregon on February 6, 2016. As a child, LaVonne’s family moved from Okla- homa to Kansas and even- tually settled in central and northern California where she met her husband, Don Raupp. LaVonne and Don met for the fi rst time at church in Sacramento, California when LaVonne was only 13 and Don was 16. Their families came in contact regularly dur- ing church meetings and revivals. After years of friendship, teasing and fl irting, LaVonne and Don married on December 3rd, 1960 in North Sacramento, California. The church was the center of LaVonne’s life throughout her childhood and adult life. Her mother was a traveling preacher, and LaVonne, her twin, Laverne, their younger sister Evelyn, and their dad were part of the musical entertainment. LaVonne and Laverne played the ac- cordions and sang, Evelyn joined in the singing, and their dad played the musi- cal saw. LaVonne and Don began singing together even before they were dat- ing when Don and “The Twins” performed together at a Youth for Christ Talent Show. LaVonne and Don began dating several years later, singing and perform- ing together through their dating, engagement and throughout their 55 year marriage. They spent years traveling around Northern California with their 4 children, Robert, Jonathan, Beverley and Zackary, per- forming in churches and at fairs. They were known as the Singing Raupp Fam- ily. LaVonne played the piano and wrote many of the songs they performed. Even as their family grew up and left home, LaVonne and Don continued singing together at church, and at community and Grange events. Besides being musically talented, LaVonne also loved to sew, embroider and crochet. She sewed many of the matching outfi ts that the family wore during their performances, I have nothing left. Nothing to give you. I have no pride, no dignity. No money. I don’t even know how we’ll make a living, but... I promise I’ll love you the rest of your life. Extensions fi led at no additional charge!

To keep her hands busy during travel, LaVonne crocheted hundreds of “granny squares” and eventually made each of her four chil- dren a crocheted afghan. As a teenager, LaVonne’s education was disrupted as she and her sisters trav- eled with their mother to perform. She and her twin graduated high school through a home corre- spondence course, but she never pursued college until she had raised her family. LaVonne was 50 years old when she began attend- ing Cabrillo Community College in Santa Cruz, California. Her family was very proud of her for stepping out of her comfort zone and earning straight A’s. She also began work- ing full time for a software company during this time of her life, and enjoyed being a part of the growing educational software trend of the early 90s. LaVonne’s love for Jesus shone through everything she did. She was the sweetest, gentlest and kindest person many people had ever known. Love of and devotion to Jesus, music, her husband and family summed up her life. Those who knew her were blessed by her smile, her laughter, her beauti- ful piano playing and her sweet alto voice singing the many songs she wrote and composed over the years. She was preceded in death by her parents, John Albert and MayDell Darden of Pinole, Califor- nia, and her mother-in-law and father-in-law, Bill and Beverley Raupp of Med- ford, Oregon. LaVonne is survived by her husband, Don Raupp of Richland, Oregon, her children, Robert Raupp of Seattle, Washington, Jonathan (Lisa) Raupp of Grass Valley, California, Beverley (John) Minarich of Richland, Oregon and Zackary (Sarah) Raupp of Tacoma, Washington. Her grandsons, Robert (Jamie) Minarich, Daniel Minar- ich and Joshua (Caleah) Minarich all of La Grande, Oregon, Derrick Scott of Los Angeles, Califor- nia. Cameron Raupp of Tacoma, Washington, and Joey and Jonny Raupp of Grass Valley, California. Her twin sister, Laverne (Archie) Phelps of Palm Desert, California and her younger sister, Evelyn (Jim) Harding of Vacaville, California. Her sister-in- law, Dotti Neasham of Medford, Oregon. She also has several loving nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews who will fondly remember her.
