Launa Jeanne Hanson, daughter of Bob and Lolanne Hanson, was born on May 15, 1973, in John Day, Oregon. She passed away peacefully on the morning of Christmas Eve, December 24, 2025, following a courageous battle with liposarcoma.
Launa was the fourth of six siblings, with the third having been stillborn. She was raised on a farm in Oregon, where she developed a lifelong love for animals, nature, and the outdoors.
Marriage & Home
In 2009, Launa married Baldomero Corona Jr. Together they shared a loving home filled with animals, including several cherished cats and two rescue dogs, Rascal and Honey. Later, during her illness, Launa found a puppy and named him Horatio. She found great comfort in Horatio’s companionship, and he brought laughter, light, and joy to her days.
Interests & Personality
Launa found happiness in simple, meaningful pleasures—painting, gardening, and spending time with family and friends. She will be remembered for her kindness, determination, creative spirit, and infectious humor, as well as for the deep love she shared so freely with those around her.
