Lana was born to John and Carol Stotts in Denver, Colorado, on August 9, 1953. She moved with her parents and older sister to Nebraska at the age of 2. She married Wayne Tucker on November 7, 1971. They had four children: Shannon (Tucker) Ryan, Wayne Tucker Jr., Lisa Tucker, and Andrea (Tucker) Kagay.
Lana was gifted in many ways. She played the piano by ear, loved to cook, and made it a tradition to sew her daughter’s matching dresses for special occasions. During her children’s school years, she often played the piano for their school programs. Once her children were grown, she took up the game of golf and thoroughly enjoyed it. Lana loved being a grandma, and all her grandchildren lovingly referred to her as Nana.
Lana married Rex Myers on December 12, 1997. Rex had one child from a previous marriage, Cassie (Myers) West.
Lana held many jobs in her lifetime and two that were important to her included working at the Broken Bow Sale Barn and the Broken Bow Animal Hospital. However, her favorite job was playing piano at the Alley Rose in Kearney for weddings and other special occasions.
