Lana Marie Mitzel, a vibrant and creative soul, passed away on December 30, 2024. Born on July 6, 1969, she brought light, laughter, and life lessons to everyone who knew her.

Lana was a true firecracker—quick-witted, endlessly creative, and the kind of person who could strike up a conversation with anyone. Within minutes, strangers felt like old friends, sharing their stories with her as if they’d known her forever. Her gift for connection was extraordinary, and her wisdom was unparalleled, always ready with a life lesson for any situation.

A talented artist, Lana had a remarkable ability to create beauty in her world, though she never fully saw the magic of her own artistry. Her creative vision extended beyond art—her knack for putting things together left those around her in awe.

Lana found joy and love with her partner, Dean, who brought happiness and light into her life. Together, they shared laughter, adventures, and a love that she cherished deeply.

Lana leaves behind a legacy of love in her five children:

Dominic, with his wife Truc and their children, Josephine and Nic.

Doug.

Holly, with her husband Dallas and their daughter Ava.

Austin.

Emmy, with her husband Fernando and their children, Gus, Melo, and Winnie.

She also leaves her siblings Denise, Pam, Allison, and Mark, who were a cherished part of her life.

She will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her. Lana’s creativity, wisdom, and love will continue to inspire those she leaves behind, reminding us to find beauty in the everyday and to cherish the connections we make along the way.

Details for a celebration of Lana’s life will be shared with family and friends soon.
