Steven Lane

Steven A. Lane, 70, North Manchester, passed away Jan. 31, 2020, at Parkview Wabash Hospital, Wabash.

One of 10 children, Steven was born in Wabash to Eugene and Hazel (Miller) Lane on Aug. 11, 1949.

After graduating from Akron High School, Steven joined the United States Army, something that Steven was always proud of. He was also a member of the American Legion. On Nov. 23, 1977 Steven married his best friend and soulmate, Lavaughna Woods. The two were wed for 42 years. To support his family, Steven worked at Zimmer as a tool and die maker for 26 years, retiring in 2014. When he had the chance to relax, Steven enjoyed woodworking, fishing, watching John Wayne movies and other Westerns, reenacting old wars and the old way of life. He especially loved Camaros and other cars. Steven was described as the finest man anyone had ever known and his family’s rock. Steven was a wonderful husband, father and grandfather. He was continuously putting others before the needs of himself, and he loved supporting his children and grandchildren. For the past 16 years, Steven fought cancer, and he never let it beat him.

Lane will be forever cherished by his wife, Lavaughna Lane, North Manchester; two daughters, Katie (Andrew) Robinson and Kelly Aust, both of North Manchester; three brothers, Junior (Viola) Lane, Speicherville, Jerry (Robin) Lane, Warren, and Larry Lane, North Manchester; five sisters, Rosie (Larry) Miller, Wabash, Iva Wright, North Manchester, Peggy (Jerry) Shepler, Wabash, Linda Allen, North Manchester, and April Young, North Manchester; four grandchildren, and one great-grandchild.
