Lana was one of their nine children who grew up on a farm in Mayville, Mi. Lana attended Mayville Schools District and moved to Columbiaville and attended LakeVille School District, where she met the love of her life, Dennis Hart. The two were absolutely inseparable and did everything together. Lana and Dennis were married on October 29, 1983, and together welcomed two children Dennis and Corinne. Lana later became a grandmother, Nana, to four beautiful grandchildren who became her world. She cherished every moment she spent with them. The love she had for her children and grandchildren was immeasurable, she always told them “I love you to the moon and back.”
