Louise A Meinholz

A true gem she was. Remember when she once told me Michael you have to be strong and stand up for yourself. Listened to her and what a great life lesson she taught me. Remember the positive good times. Best regards Michael Schmitz

Dear, Family of My sweet friend, Luanne, Theresa, Trish, Trudy, her three girls, please accept my sympathy and love, but, also know, Mom, is free of pain. Tommy was there with open arms waiting for her to join him and make him his favorite.. Beef BBQ.... She gave me courage, when I had none, and, was always there when I needed someone to listen me. Meeting her, and her wonderful family, has been God's greatest gift to me, and I will be forever grateful that He closed a door and opened a window for me. God Speed, My Sister/friend, until the day we meet again. Your forever friend, Ruthie

Trudy, Theresa, Tom, Tricia and Kasey: I'm so sorry to hear the passing of your mom!!! She was a great lady! Lu was definitely a fun, funny prankster and a great cook! I was the victim of a few food fights and LOTS of water fights in and out of the pool. I remember the first time that I met Lu. "You want a donut" was the first question she asked me.....

Luanne and I worked together at CUNA for at least two decades. I always admired her sense of love of family and friends and her sense of humor. I've kept up with her on Facebook, where I agreed with her politics. Gene Johnson

Luanne was a great friend, and I am going to miss her dearly - right along with the rest of the "CUNA Birthday Lunch Bunch Gals." I always told her she 'saved my career' at CUNA as when she retired, I was fortunate to be able to step into her job (and not that I could ever fill her shoes), but told her that she got the better end of the deal! I will always cherish our last, long conversation we had on January 12th. As only a dear friend can and even though she was enduring her own struggles, she had the beautiful presence of mind to encourage me to stay strong and hang in there with my cancer battles and journey. What a selfless and beautiful spirit she is! Love You Lu! Janice Wavra
