I’ve know LuAnn since elementary school at Mary B Austin. We went to church together and graduated high school together. After graduation from Murphy High we moved into an apartment and were roommates along with another friend of ours. Those are great memories, we had some fun times.
So much laughter shared with my dear friend. It’s hard to believe she is no longer here on earth. God had other plans for our sweet LuAnn. She will be missed but that smile and twinkle in her eyes will forever remain in our hearts and bring us JOY when we think of her. Love you Lu ❤️
To know LuAnn was to love her. We worked together at SCC for many years. I enjoyed those years very much. Mike I am so sorry for your and your family’s loss. She was very special.
God bless you and your family. She was one of the kindest generous people I have ever met. She always had a smile for all her patients.
I didn’t get to see her much but she always stayed in touch with family. I am so glad we met in Petal MS and got to see the graves of Mike’s great grandfather and the other graves that were part of our family.
It was a joy and a pleasure working alongside Luann at the Southern Cancer Center. She will be missed. Prayers to her husband and family.
LuAnn was always a friend to me. She helped me at the Southern Cancer Center in Daphne. If I had any questions, she would always get the answers to them. I will miss her greatly. Her sister in law, Marsha, we went to school together. When she found out we would talk so much to catch up on my younger days. Godly woman.
Luann was such a joy to work with. I worked with LuAnn at Southern Cancer Center where she was always smiling and greeting everyone with a smile. She will truly be missed.
Mike and family… I was deeply saddened to hear about LuAnn. We have many great memories from our days at CHBC! She was one of the sweetest gals in our group! Love to you all!
