If there was one thing Luanna was, that was determined... No matter what the challenge or request, she gave her all to ensure she exceeded all expectations whether for herself or others.

Her true heart was being an attentive mother, wife, daughter, sister, and friend to everyone she knew.

She moved to Houston, Texas in 1977 where she was a Homemaker, played on a tennis team, and worked for an upscale boutique, Etui. In 1996, Luanna retired to Hilton Head Island, South Carolina where her husband joined her to operate Morris & Whiteside Galleries and Red Piano Art Gallery. Living in Hilton Head Island, SC, Luanna was on the Board of Directors of Calibogue Club Association and Baynard Property Owners Association. She was an organizing member of the Majon Group of Calibogue Club and enjoyed her weekly Majon games with “The Girls”.
