talents to crocheting and made afghans for her children, their spouses, and grandchildren. Eleanore 
devoted many years to raising her children. After her husband Orwin passed away in 1971, she raised 
their five children who were still at home.

Gunvor "Gunnie" (nee Ostman) LaVinn, 93, died Saturday, March 10, 2012, at her daughter's home in 
Oswego. She was born Oct. 28, 1918, in Goteborg, Sweden, the daughter of Nils and Malin Ostman. The 
family emigrated to the United States when she was five years old.
Gunnie married L. Paul LaVinn on Feb. 17, 1940, and they spent many years together until his death in 1975. 
For many years she worked at Lincolnway High School in New Lenox, Il., as a cook.
Central to Gunnie's life was her faith in Jesus Christ, her involvement in her churches at Willow Lake Estates 
in Elgin and First Baptist Church of Geneva, her family, and friends. Through the years, Gunnie, a fan of nature, 
and avid cross-stitcher, and a talented seamstress, made her own note cards using pressed flowers, teaching 
her grandchildren the art. She cross-stitched many scenes for herself and others and was often found sewing 
her latest creation, whether clothing for herself, gift bags for others, or something for one of her family members.
She lived at Carroll Tower in St Charles and more recently at the Tillers in Oswego for rehab and at her last 
home at Heritage Woods in Yorkville.
Gunnie is survived by her two loving children, Marie Yunker of Oswego and Doug (Gail) LaVinn of Naperville; 
her granddaughters, Lisa (Mike) Welz of Yorkville, Teresa (Bill) Hartford of Kalispell, Mont., and Tracie Eggert 
of Lombard; her great grandchildren, Eric, Tim and Katie Welz of Yorkville, Sean and Nathan Hartford of Kalispell, 
Mont., and Luke and Natalie Eggert of Lombard. She is also survived by Gail LaVinn's daughters and grandchildren, 
who considered her their grandmother and great grandmother as well.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Nils and Malin Ostman, her husband, L.Paul LaVinn, her twin sister, 
Viola Pieh, other siblings Astrid VanDewall, Karen Lindkvist, and Harold Ostman, and her granddaughter, Kimberly Evans.
A home-going celebration will be held for Gunnie at First Baptist Church of Geneva on Friday, March 16 at 10 a.m. 
First Baptist Church of Geneva's East Campus is located at 2300 South St, Geneva.

jewelry a double strand of pearls given her by the bridegroom.
Miss Seidl's gown was of taffeta, also made with a snug basque and graceful skirt trimmed with inserts of lace. 
Lace also edged the short puffed sleeves and square neckline. Three daffodils topped Miss Seidl's blond curls, 
and she carried a bouquet of daffodils and other spring flowers tied with a yellow bow. The gold cross at her 
throat was a gift of the bride.
Both the mother of the bride and the mother of the bridegroom, Mrs. E.C. Schroeder of Manitowoc, wore
