Service Details
Lana Rae Courtney, 67, passed away February 4, 2022 at Mercy Medical Center in Des Moines Iowa.
Lana, was born on February 15, 1954 in Des Moines to James and Jean Clearwater. Lana worked as a bartender and loved every second of it.

One of her granddaughters described her as the most caring grandma anyone could have. Anyone would be so lucky to be able to call her their grandma.

So sorry for your loss Jerry. Lana and I would have the best of times at church...then at Church Camp (Spring Valley Bible Camp) we would talk about growing up in Des Moines...we would pray for better times ahead.
RIP my Sister in Christ!
You truly will be missed. Last time Lana came to church she promised me that she would see me later with a big hug! Enjoy your eternal life with God in heaven my dear friend. ❤
