LuAnn Ladd (McGurk) It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of LuAnn Ladd, who left us on September 17, 2025 at the age of 70. Born on October 8, 1954 at home in Murrysville Pa, LuAnn lived a life defined by kindness, selflessness, and deep love for her family. She found joy in the simple but meaningful moments-especially talking with her loved ones on the phone, always keeping everyone connected and cared for. LuAnn had a gift for putting others ahead of herself. Whether it was her family, friends, or anyone in need, she gave freely of her time, love, and energy. Her compassion and warmth touched all who knew her. She is survived by her son William J. Ladd, her grandchildren Will and Holden Ladd. As well as her sisters and brothers; Helen, Eleanore, Miriam, George, and Chuck who will carry her memory in their hearts forever. LuAnn was preceded in death by her husband William A Ladd, and her sisters Virginia, Betty Ann, Janet, and Nancy. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you honor LuAnn by simply taking time to call and connect with someone you love-just as she always did. LuAnn will be remembered for her unwavering love, her gentle spirit, and the way she made everyone feel important and cared for. Arrangements are in care of Kenyon Funeral Home, Inc.
