She went out fighting like the true warrior that she was and will be sorely missed by family and friends. She was preceded in death by parents, Charles E. Wilson and R.C. Irene Wilson and a brother Timothy Wilson. She is survived by her lifelong friend, Judy Ervin, brother Thomas C. Wilson, and sister Kathryn K. Lathey (husband Robert). She loved her family more than anything and was always there to support and care for everyone. She leaves behind special nieces and nephews Kelly A. (Lathey) Griffin (husband Dustin), Jonathan M. Lathey and Traci (Wilson) Carr (husband Chris) and great nieces and nephew Kelstin Griffin, Molly Griffin, Ivy Crank, Caty Carr and Benjamin Lathey.
Luana's passions were golfing and fishing, both of which she excelled at. She had a huge heart for animals, especially cats. She always worried about the ducks on her condo property in the winter and would haul bags of feed to them to make sure they were cared for.
Luana was a long-time employee at General Electric and then retired from Tomson Steel in Middletown, in 2016.
She was strong and fierce and brave despite her battle- the true definition of a warrior.
