She was a spiritual Christian, loved reading and her work with the Civil Air Patrol. She had worked as a fireman, an EMT, taxi driver and with the FAA. She enjoyed nail technology and owned and operated Lana's Perfect T.E.N for 40 years.

Her many interests included her family, solutions, penmanship, wit and humor.

Her family remembers: "Lana lived to love and to be loved. She understood her humanity and spirituality to be bigger than life and was a force to be reckoned with. She loved beauty and loved her trinkets. She was a huge support to her family and to others. She admired mental advancement and her dogs. Right or wrong, she stood by her convictions, no matter what."
