Death of our mom Lyubov Lanovenko

When a mother dies, we lose a piece of who we are. We lose the person whose story provides the beginning of our own.

It devastates me to announce the death of our beloved mother Lyubov Lanovenko. I am usually really good with words but this time I cant seem to find the right words to express anything. Lyubov Lanovenko passed away on Sunday, January 2, 2022 at the hospital in Everett, WA. She died of a very rare form of cancer, the type that goes unnoticed until it’s in final stage.

Mom’s name Lyubov directly translates into “Love” and that’s exactly who she was. She would light up any room with her love and her warm smile, and would always be the first one to reach out to her sisters to check in on them how they’re doing and make sure they knew they were loved. She always made everyone feel included and wanted. She was like that candle that would burn and give her warmth and her fire to others.

She was always happy and positive and loved helping others and often volunteered at church gatherings. She was an amazing cook and her love to cook passed on to me at a very young age. Our family loves nature and road-trips so half of our childhood was spent going camping and on endless road trips to the sea, lakes and rivers. She leaves behind great legacy and warmest happiest memories that we will forever cherish. We miss her dearly and it is still very hard to accept the fact that she is no longer here with us, but we know we will meet again in heaven.

We did not expect to lose her this soon and we are very heartbroken over such great loss. On behalf of our family, in the most devastating and humble of circumstances I have set up this account to ask for any donations that would help us cover some of the funeral expenses and some medical bills from the hospital which she stayed at. Any donation is much appreciated.
