Lane Haven Coulter

Lane was born in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire. At 17 years old, he joined the army and was on active duty for 8 years which took him to Japan and Korea for a short time. He then went to college and completed an Associate Degree. Lane loved ballroom dancing and met Veronica at a dance. On August 27, 1960 he married Veronica Spila. They made their home in Seattle, Washington. Lane was employed at Sears Roebuck Company. Two daughters were born while in Seattle: Noreen and Andrea. In 1967 the family moved to Pleasant Hill, California and Lane changed careers. He worked at Carpenter Rigging as a steel rigger while also continuing to serve in the military in the National Guard and then Army Reserves. He retired from the military at age 60 after almost 30 years. He retired from Carpenter Rigging after 27 years of hard physical labor. Lane was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He served in a variety of capacities in the church. Lane enjoyed the simple things of life: having a dog, eating a plain hamburger, home and car repairs, and trying to help others.
