LuAnn Munksgard

LuAnn Reichard Munksgard, 65, of Warren, PA received her eternal salvation in Jesus on January 25, 2026 at UPMC Hamot surrounded by her family, after a heartbreaking illness.

The beloved daughter of the late Connie Mauk Reichard and Gerald (Jerry) Reichard, LuAnn was born on December 08, 1960 in Warren, PA. She was a proud graduate of the Warren Area High School Class of 1979 and loved planning her class reunions and staying in touch with her classmates.
On October 10, 1981, she married Dennis Munksgard at Grace United Methodist Church, in Warren. They spent 44 loving years together, especially their impromptu day trips exploring God's creation together.

LuAnn worked in the community prior to dedicating her life to raising their two daughters, Danielle and Shallin. She planned amazing vacations for her family so they could explore our beautiful country together and make lifelong memories. LuAnn's love language was food, providing delicious meals for her family and loved ones and is known for her canning, family picnic dishes and so many beloved recipes you had to make with her to learn how to recreate them. Spending time with family and friends filled her heart with joy.

LuAnn loved God, her family and her country. She was an active member of First Methodist Church of Warren, PA where she loved to sing in the choir; a proud member of the Daughters of the American Revolution; she passionately served the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for over 20 years, retiring in summer 2025.

Her greatest joy was loving "her babies", her grandchildren. Grammy video called them daily and visited them as often as she could – she didn't want to go one day without experiencing their love. She is the best Grammy they could have ever had.

Surviving is her husband, Dennis; daughters Danielle Munksgard, and partner Nathaniel Borsh of Pittsburgh, PA; and Shallin Shelby and husband, United States Army Major Timothy Shelby, of Fort Eustis, VA; three adored grandchildren Aliza, Landon and Anastasia; her two cherished dogs, Opie and Oreo; and many cousins, friends and loved ones.
