She was a lover of books, especially the Harry Potter series. She was a generous and loyal friend, a loving sister and daughter, and she will be dearly missed by all who knew her. Lanie's spirit and enthusiasm for living was apparent in everything she did. Services will be held Friday, August 3, at Maggie Walker Governor's School at 1000 N.
