Luann was a homemaker, taught adult enrichment classes in the Flint area, and was an election worker for over five decades for the city of Flint, then for Mundy Township and later for the City of Fenton. Luann was an invaluable asset to her husband throughout his long 55-year career covering Flint area sports.
In retirement Len and Luann portrayed Santa and Mrs. Claus for many years at Gerych’s Distinctive Flowers and Gifts in Fenton and entertained at numerous holiday parties and home visits. They enjoyed wintering on Anna Maria Island in Florida where they made many wonderful friends.
Luann was a Member of Trinity Lutheran Church in Fenton, served in the Altar Guild, participated in the Ladies Guild and LWML, and served at funeral dinners for many years.
Luann was a talented seamstress and crafter, creating many beautiful gifts including needlework samplers, quilts, decorative painting pieces and greeting cards. She was an accomplished baker, well known for her cherry pie as well as her first-place award winning apple pie in the 2016 Applefest contest in Fenton.
Luann was pre-deceased by her husband Len in 2005 after nearly 50 years of marriage; her parents Hercules Johnson and Lois Johnson Bancroft, and her mother’s second husband Carl Bancroft; five infant brothers, one adult brother, stepbrothers and -sisters, and in-laws.
