Luanna Baker (Leach)'s Obituary
Luanna (Leach) Baker- Lu spent most of her life in the retail business throughout the Tacoma area. She loved to work with people and had a strong ethic, having won employee of the year on a couple of occasions.
Lu loved to laugh and loved to make others laugh. She had a quick wit and usually ended up with the last word. Lu was never seen without her red/orange lipstick, and took pride in looking spectacular on a shoestring budget.
Lu loved her flowers and her homes always had hanging fuchsia plants, her favorites.

Lu is preceded in death by her parents, her sister, Darlene Cole, her brother, Robert Johnson and her niece, Shawn Trenberth.
