Laverne Roberts was a nurse at Sacred Heart Hospital who spent her days watching soap operas, gossiping, and talking straight to the other employees. She worked at Sacred Heart for 24 years. Laverne was extremely religious, and made many comments about others having to "answer to Jesus." Her religious devotion was developed as a way to cope with the horrors of watching people die around the hospital every day. She also was a member of her church choir, who came and performed at the hospital on behalf of Dr. Cox. She was also seen stealing scrubs for her church choir to wear.

She passed away due to complications after a car accident.
