My sincerest condolences to all of you. Lavena was not just a colleague but was my work-mum. Now reunited with her solemate Ray.
Love to you all, Karen
Lavena was such an important part of Monash University library for many years. Many will remember her teaching us how to make her perfect scones, enjoying the magnificent plum puddings and her Christmas treat of homemade baileys. A life that touched many with her understanding ear and sound advice.
Condolences to all her family.

Thinking of you all at this difficult time in the loss of your beautiful mum Lavena. I’ll always remember Lavena’s friendship and our holidays over the years. Reunited with her loving husband Ray. Sleep peacefully, love Dianne
Vale Lavena. You welcomed me on my first day at Monash. I’ll never forget. Your heart of gold, your generosity and your wicked sense of humour. Love Jan.
Lavena was a very special lady, she was the heart of Monash University Library. She was funny, kind, and always willing to help out a colleague. I have fond memories of her bailey’s at Christmas and her fabulous puddings. My nephews, nieces, and my sons also had many years of enjoyment attending the children’s Christmas parties. I also enjoyed attending many events at your house over the years, it was such a warm and inviting place.
You will be forever missed and always hold a special place in my heart.

Deepest Condolences to Sharon, Duncan, Maddie, Logan and family.
To all of Lavena’s wonderful family, I am heartbroken for your loss.
Lavena was an exceptional person, and I used her shoulder more than once at Monash. I even nearly got myself plastered on her Xmas cream liquor one year.
She, with Ray, will always be watching over her much loved and devoted family.
My thoughts and love are with you all.
Our sincere sympathy to Lavena’s family on this sad occasion.
Fond memories of our working days together at Monash.
RIP Lavena,
Lots of chats with you at MU Library.
It was always a pleasure to work on the Airconditioning in the library.
