Lanette Boyer

The evening of July 22, 2020, at the age of 41, Lanette Cathleen Boyer left this world to join her heavenly Father. She was born as Lanette Ellen Lamoreaux, in Medford, Ore., late evening, March 27, 1979, to a teenage mother named Nanette Lamoreaux. 

Lanette arrived blue and had to stay eight days in the ICU. She spent most of her life fighting her body to live; doctors said she would probably never make it to her 5th birthday. Due to the determination of her foster parents, Avis and Neil Hunt, she was eventually diagnosed with Schwachman’s Diamond Syndrome. Later, the blood aspect morphed into MDS with a gene mutation, leaving her with only a 20 percent chance to make it a month if she had a bone marrow transplant. Lanette chose to live a quality life and was blessed by two hospice teams to help ease her way — Grant County and Providence Hospice of Snohomish County.
