LuAnn Craft Obituary
LuAnn was a dedicated mother first and foremost. She treasured her family and embraced every moment with them. She especially loved her role as Nana. She kept her grandchildren close. She was the heart of our family. She made very close friends all over and touched many hearts. She was dearly loved and will be forever missed every day.
Left to cherish her memory are two children, James P. Craft of Hernando, FL and Kathryn Burke and husband, Patrick, of Ocala, FL; 4 grandchildren: Serenity, Joy, Jordan, and Joseph. She was preceded in death by her husband, Phillip A. Craft on March 14, 2011; her brother, Frederick Alm, Jr. in 2002, and her sister, Sandra Lee Sheppard in 2000.

Burial will follow at a later date in Florida National Cemetery.

Saying goodbye to such a wonderful person who was so kind and caring to all is so hard. You will be missed not only by your family and friends, but also by all the animals you loved and cared for. You are now in such a better place. It's just hard for those you left behind to say goodbye.

Luann was one of the sweetest and loving friend I knew. She had a heart of gold and my 3 babies loved her. I will surely miss her loving smile coming into the credit union. May angels be dancing up in heaven but us left on earth will miss you dearly. I will see you again Luann. Say hello to my husband up there. Love ya girlfriend
