Lawana was a former medical assistant, and she enjoyed drawing during her free time. Lawana is a deeply loved wife, mother and grandmother, whose life has been a quiet testament to strength, selflessness, and an unwavering good heart.

From the earliest days of her life, she has been someone who puts others before herself, not out of duty, but out of genuine care and compassion.

She was loved and will be missed by all.
