Lara W. Hough

Lara Wallace Hough passed away on May 6, 2020 after a year and half valiant and brave battle against acute myeloid leukemia. She was 13 years old. Lara is survived by her mother, Claudia Keenan; twin brother, Griffin Hough and older brother, Beach Hough, both of Baltimore; older siblings Casey and Spencer Hough of Knoxville, TN; grandfather, William Wallace Keenan, and great aunts, Mary Lee and Jean Keenan, all of Norfolk, VA. And, her beloved puppy, Harley.

Lara was a 7th grader at Notre Dame Prep, a school she loved dearly. She had very close friends who stood by her through all of her treatments and up until the end. Lara was treated at Johns Hopkins Children's Cancer Center by an incredible team of doctors, physician assistants and nurses, to whom we are deeply indebted. We would also like to thank Gilchrist Hospice for caring for Lara at the end of her life.

Lara was able to die at home with the people that meant the most to her in the world, her family. For that, we are forever grateful. Lara was loved by so many people for her loving spirit, her kindness, her compassion, and her hope for life. The world has lost an amazing young woman, but gained an angel.

There will be a private service now. When COVID 19 restrictions are lifted, there will be a large service where everyone can gather to show love for her.
