Lana Joseph
Lana G. Joseph, age 67, of Celina, Ohio, passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday, September 14, 2016 at 10:00 pm in Punta Gorda, Florida.
She was born April 22, 1949 in Iaeger, West Virginia to the late Andrew Christian Jr. and Ethel Morgan. She married Terry Joseph June 7, 1975; and he preceded her in death on January 4, 2012.
She is survived by a son, David Joseph; a step-mother, Martha L. Christian, New Haven, IN; a brother, Harold (Lois) Christian, Dunkirk, IN; a sister, Sherry (Jack) Bess, Elwood, IN; several nieces and nephews; and God children, Logan and Ella Delong, both of Celina.
Lana was a 1967 graduate of Fort Recovery High. She retired as an office manager from Foundations Behavioral Health Service in 2014 after 35 years of service.
She was a member of Celina Church of the Nazarene.
Lana's loving and generous spirit continues to touch lives. It was her desire to help improve someone's life through eye donation.
Lana was a devoted wife and mother, and had many friends. As our hearts ache for the physical loss of her, we find solace knowing that she is now with God. She is at peace. And for that, we are grateful.
Visitation hours will be from 3-7 pm, Thursday, September 22, 2016 in the Cisco Funeral Home, Celina.
Funeral services will begin at 10:30 am on Friday, September 23, 2016 in the Celina First Church of the Nazarene, with Rev. Andrew Jellison officiating; where the family will receive friends from 9:30-10:30 am prior the services at the church. Burial will follow at Mercer Memory Gardens, Celina.
