Just was told LuAnne passed. Worked with her at PHFA, took many breaks together and remember her love of reading and knitting. Rest well LuAnne. My prayers and condolences to her family and friends.
My memories of my sister-in-law are many….she was a vibrant person passionate about her family, loved family celebrations especially Christmas. Decorating her home & high-style fashion were her go-to fun. Anything Irish was a great passion & she realized her love of all things Irish in a retirement trip to Ireland where she could connect with the Penner side of her beloved mother, Miriam. Always, planning ahead & hard- working, she was strong in her opinions & remembering her relationship with Jesus Christ especially in blessing the food at mealtime. To me, LuAnn, was always an amazing person with a golden family! Love, Diane A. Fry
