Then, she moved to Oklahoma and worked at Oklahoma Christian University for 10 years as the Assistant Director for the campus apartments. In 2009, she suffered a stroke that ended her working career. Lana's passion was horses and she was very involved with the Fulton County 4-H Horse and Pony Club for many years. She dedicated endless hours to help make the Fulton County 4-H Equestrian Center what it is today. She owned a Champion barrel horse named Rebel's Peanut and helped train a World Champion flag horse by the name of Bold Sun Flash. Lana liked reading fictional horror novels and watching scary thriller movies. She enjoyed mushroom hunting and loved spending time with family.
