Hood River Girl Who Inspired City Passes Away

Lila May, the little girl who touched the heart of Hood River and the Gorge during her battle with stage IV neuroblastoma, passed away over the weekend.  Lila May’s mother Heidi Hall posted the news on her Facebook page.  The post said Lila May passed away on Saturday, days after the family had returned from a trip to Hawaii.  Lila May had been diagnosed with neuroblastoma when she was 17 months old.  Her story drew support from local residents and many others as she endured countless medical procedures for the majority of her life.  Last month, the community celebrated her fifth birthday with a party that was attended by what was estimated to be over one-thousand guests.  A celebration of Lila May’s life will be held at 6 p.m. on Wednesday at the Hood River Middle School Auditorium.  Arrangements are being handled through Gardner Funeral Home in White Salmon.
