She was 65.  Luann is survived by her husband of almost 45 years, Steve; daughter, Nicole and husband Michael Carnahan; and son-in-law, Tom Ott.  "G", as she was so affectionately known, was a loving grandmother to grandson, Aaron Carnahan; and granddaughters, Katherine and Lauren Ott. She is also survived by a sister- and brother-in-law, Judy & Mike Rutter; as well as special nieces, nephews, cousins, and uncles.  Luann will always be remembered as a loving wife, mother, daughter, "G", sister, aunt and friend who liked nothing more than spending time with her family, being with her friends and helping others.
