On Friday, March 30, 2018, Lara Hensley Garno (age 49), wife, mother, sister, daughter, and friend, passed away at the Lincoln County Medical Center, Ruidoso, New Mexico. Lara was diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast Cancer 13 months ago and while some would view this as a struggle, Lara saw it as an opportunity to spread the love of Jesus to everyone she would come into contact with as a result of disease. Lara is held in deep and abiding love by her husband and best friend Paul, and her precious daughter, Zoey Sunshine Hensley. Lara will forever be held in the loving embrace of her siblings, dearest friends, and other cherished relatives.
Born in Colby, Kansas, Lara is a graduate of Hays High School (KS), Fort Hays State University (BA), and the University of Alaska- Fairbanks (MS).
