She spent 18 of those years in Mother/Baby, 8 in Adolescent Psych and 7 years in Medical Records. She enjoyed riding bikes, barbeques and family gatherings. She had a love of wildlife, feeding her many raccoon friends daily. Luwana was an extremely generous person. After retirement she worked at Speedway.  On numerous occasions she was known to personally pay for items for those in need.  She enjoyed spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren. Every chance meeting with Luwana was always accompanied by an infectious smile and a heartfelt compliment. Her kindness and generosity has touched so many of our lives and the love that she has given will rest on our hearts forever. We will celebrate and remember the beautiful life that Luwana lived and her smile will live on forever.
