LuANN MOTEL Obituary

MOTEL
LuANN, age 78, fell asleep in the Lord on May 24, 2013, after a remarkable 13 year battle with metastatic renal cancer and Parkinson's Disease. LuAnn remained positive and engaged in the lives of her family and in the life of her church. LuAnn's courage and Christian grace provided inspiration to her husband of 57 years, Donald, her children Marta (Kevin Grewell), Peter (Bonnie), Stephen (Alex Kaplan), and Andrew (Natanya Sortland);her grandchildren Zachary, Daniel, Amanda, Emma, and Nathan, and to their families, all of whom celebrate her exemplary life and honor her memory.
LuAnn's personal life was devoted to serving her family, and her professional life was devoted to the care of others with cancer. In 1976, with her children grown, she earned a BSN at Gwynedd Mercy College and began work as an oncology nurse at Hahnemann. She was highly active in St. Herman of Alaska Orthodox Church, where she served for many years on the Church Council and as Warden (President) and in Holy Ascension Orthodox Church. Her greatest comfort has always been her family. She took particular joy in the fact that all of her children and grandchildren live in the area and remain close. They are her legacy and gift to the world.

May she rest in peace! Memory Eternal! We were sad to hear the news of her passing. She was a great person who did so much for so many! Some comfort in knowing she is not suffering any longer. Our prayers are with all of you! Roseanne and John Pusey

O God of spirits, and of all flesh, who hast trampled down Death and overthrown the Devil and given life to Thy World: Do Thou, the same Lord, give rest to the soul of Thy departed handmaid, LuAnn, in a place of brightness, a place of refreshment, a place of repose, where all sickness, sighing, and sorrow have fled away.  Pardon her every transgression which she has committed, whether by word or deed or thought, through knowledge or through ignorance. For Thou art a good God who lovest Mankind; because there is no man who lives yet does not sin; for Thou only art without sin; Thy righteousness is righteousness to all eternity; and Thy word is Truth.

For Thou art the Resurrection, the Life, and the repose of Thy handmaid, Luann, who is fallen asleep, O Christ our God, and unto Thee we ascribe glory, together with Thy Father, Who is from everlasting, and Thine All-holy, Good, and Life-creating Spirit, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Memory Eternal!

Aunt LuAnn is present in so many of my life memories - from days spent at the shore to vacations together. Her love of family, strength, and incredible common sense attitude have shaped me and will live on with my kids as well. Memory Eternal!
