She was born on February 1, 1947, in Willshire, Ohio, to the late Hilton and Rose Mary (Huffman) Miller. On November 29, 1969, she married the love of her life, Jim Grier, Sr., who survives at their home in Mendon.

Lana is also survived by her children, Jame (Fec Lomotos) Grier, Jr. of Mendon and Brenda (Henry) Goday of Iowa; two grandchildren; and three great grandchildren; her brothers and sisters, Kenny (Shirley) Miller of Rockford, Larry Miller of Indiana, Becky Burris of Huntington, Indiana, Jean Sudduth of Berne, Indiana, and Rex (Becky) Miller of Rockford; and a brother-in-law, Bill (Cindy) Grier of Mendon.

Lana dedicated 25 years of service to Ohio City Manufacturing and later retired from Universal Lettering in Van Wert after more than 11 years.
