Lillian J. Gerth Heverin, 91

    Lillian J. Gerth Heverin of Greensboro, MD, passed away peacefully at BayHealth in Dover on Wednesday, January 8, 2025, surrounded by her loving family.
    Born in Greensboro, Maryland on April 14, 1933. Mrs. Heverin was the daughter of the late Fred and Julia Gerth.
    Mrs. Heverin graduated from Greensboro High School, Greensboro, MD. She spent her career working at Playtex in Dover, Delaware as a lab worker. After her career at Playtex, she went on to become a compassionate caregiver to several patients for over 35 years. She married the love of her life, Walter L. Heverin in Baton Rouge, Louisiana before his deployment to war overseas as a soldier in the United States Army. She came back to Maryland to live and after his return they settled in Henderson, MD, where they started their life together and a family, then eventually moved to their home in Greensboro where they raised their five children. In addition to their home in Greensboro, they also had a home in Florida where they would spend their winter months and built many friendships and memories over several years, especially the many visits from their family coming to visit them every year. Mrs. Heverin always said that the most wonderful gifts and success in her life were her family and friends. She was one of the best mothers, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend that you could ever ask for. She enjoyed so many things in life, like her many animals over the years, feeding and watching the birds, gardening, cooking for her family and friends, and traveling. She was a very generous and giving person to everyone and would help anyone she met. To know her was a gift and to have her in your life was a treasure. She will be greatly missed by her family, friends and anyone that knew her.
