May 14, 1949 - April 15, 2026
Lana, a beautiful wife and proud mother of three handsome and accomplished sons, passed away with her family by her side on April 15, 2026. Lana was born in Stockton CA on May 14th, 1949 to Michele and Mary Ellen Pricola and was a lifelong resident of Stockton. After graduating from Cleveland Elementary and Stagg High School, Lana quickly completed the Maud Cornell Business program and began her career as a legal secretary in the District Attorney’s Office. It was there that she met Jim; they fell in love and then married.
Lana took a gap in her work to love and raised her three sons. Words cannot express the depth and constancy of her love for her sons, James, Christopher and Robert. There truly was nothing that she would hesitate to do to insure their happiness.
Lana is survived by her husband, Jim, her sons and their wives, her sister Jolinda and nieces and nephews. Lana’s parents, her brother Butch and her sister Darlene predeceased her.
Lana was blessed with seven grandchildren: Jacob and Ryan (James and Kelly); Landon, Maison and Dillon (Christopher and Courtney) and Adra and Emma (Robert and Lindsey).
