Louanne Mccann

Louanne Berry McCann, 61, of Baton Rouge, passed away, peacefully in her home, surrounded by family and friends, on Saturday, April 23, after a courageous battle with cancer.

Louanne was born in Fairmont, West Virginia to George and Louise Berry, on December 1, 1954, but lived the majority of her life in Baton Rouge.

She is a graduate of Broadmoor High School and attended Louisiana State University. She was happily married to the love of her life for 41 years, Alvin "Rocky" McCann. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. She was kind, generous, and friendly to everyone she encountered. She was an avid lover of all animals and a die-hard LSU fan. She loved to travel and explore the world with her family.

Louanne is preceded in death by her husband, Alvin "Rocky" McCann, her mother, Louise Berry Noland and her father, George Berry.

Louanne is survived by her two children, Jason McCann and wife, Katey, and Rebecca McCann Campbell and husband, Matt; her sister, Deena Berry Albers; her mother-in-law, Rose McCann; her five special grandsons, Hunter, Jacob, Trey, Luke, and Blake; and many nieces and nephews.
