She was preceded in death by her mother, Helen Lorraine Kinnamon; her father, Donald Richard Lambeth; beloved grandmother, Isla Lambeth; and grandfather, Ora Lambeth. She is survived by her life partner, John Langenberg; her children, Matthew Fountaine of Ft.

I hadn't seen much of Dana since I left the Kansas City area, but she was a dear friend in high school. Sincerely sympathy to her family and friends.
