Bernard Lee Lane passed away on Saturday, June 27, at the Good Samaritan Society in Indianola, Iowa. He was born on December 2, 1926 in Atlantic, Iowa to Edward and Zoa (Marshall) Lane. Bernie joined the Army on February 12, 1945 and served during World War II. Bernie was very proud of his four brothers serving at the same time and always had a picture to show everyone. In later years, he worked at R & S Printing after moving to Des Moines.
Bernie had a passion for all sports, especially golf and bowling and he knew his way around a pool table. Friends and family always looked forward to sharing in his well-supplied candy stash. Bernie was a fraternal member of the Eagles for 23 years, the YEWS and Park Ave. Presbyterian Church. Bernie was excited and overwhelmed to have been selected by Casey’s General Stores for a Veteran’s Honor Flight trip to Washington, D.C. and a reunion with many of his military friends.
Bernie married Shirley (Erskin) Lane, March 7, 1954 and they had three wonderful children from the marriage, Rudy, Patty & Mark. Shirley passed on February 3, 1992.
He met his second wife, Lois (missing text)
Bernie is survived by his wife, Lois (Owen) Lane; children Rudy Lane, Tye “Patty” (Ike) Bickham and John (Jenny) Johnson; daughter-in-law Pam Lane; step-children Jackie (Ron) Richardson, Randy (Linda) Owen, Rowena (Frank) Brugioni; several grandchildren, step-grandchildren, great-grandchildren and step-great-grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by his father and mother, Edwin and Zoa (Marshall) Lane; five brothers, three sisters and his beloved son, Mark Allen Lane.
Celebration of Life will be September 12th, 2020 at the Fraternal Order of the Eagles at 6567 Bloomfield Road in Des Moines. Time will be announced at a later date. Memorials may be directed to Paralyzed Veterans of America or Disabled American Veterans.
