Lu was a generous and loving person who loved and lived life to the fullest. She was a huge proponent of education and after her graduation from Goodrich High School she obtained a Bachelors of Social Work (BASW) from Michigan State as well as a Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Michigan and a Master of Science in Public Health (MSPH) from the University of South Carolina, all attained after her loss of vision but not her ability to experience the world around her. She loved travel and had visited over 50 countries as well as all seven continents (including visiting the frigid penguins in Antarctica). Lu served as the Lead Epidemiologist at Riverside San Bernardino County Indian Health Inc. in Banning California, as the Executive Director of Community Access Center in Riverside California, as the Deputy Director of the Ohio Governor’s Council on People with Disabilities in Columbus, Ohio, and as the Executive Director of Alliance of People with disAbilities in Seattle Washington. She was a strong advocate for persons with disabilities and spent much of her career developing and running programs designed to train and develop the talents of persons with different abilities to attain and advance in full employment and quality of life.
Lu had a strong faith and a personal relationship with Christ. A memorial service in her honor will be held at 11 o’clock on March 28, 2015 at the Goodrich Assembly of God Church in Goodrich, Pastor William Walbridge officiating. Family visitation will be at 10 o’clock at the church.
Memorial contributions be made to the Innocence Project, the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, or the charity of your choice.

RantWoman and God have been arguing about Lu's passing too. Here, in memory of Lu's endless strength, faith, and joy in living are further RantWoman reflections and exuberant memorial music.

RantWoman does not usually mention praying on this blog but it seems the best thing to do, the best way to remember Lu, the best way to reach all who lvoed her and especially Andrew and the rest of her family.
