Page Townsend Stevens Lane, 83, died Thursday September 29, 2022 at her home.  She was born August 20, 1939 in Wabash Township south of Covington, Indiana to Yvonne (Craycraft) and Virgil Townsend.

Page attended her first 8 years of school at Rabb school where she made many lifelong friends.  She graduated from Covington High School in 1957, where she was valedictorian and homecoming queen.  She was a 10-year 4-H member and Fountain County Fair Queen.  She attended Indiana State University where she was Jr. Prom Queen and in Who’s Who in Colleges & Universities.

She met Ralph S. Stevens in New Hampshire in 1961.  They married in 1962 and had three children – Tara Lynn, Mark and Allison.  Due to Ralph’s early onset Parkinson’s diagnosis, they moved to Oconomowoc, WI in 1975.  Ralph passed in 1991.  Page taught English at Oconomowoc Junior High, and elementary grades at Meadowview, Park Lawn and Ixonia – enjoying close friendships.  She was president of the Oconomowoc teachers’ union.

She married Ted Lane in 1993.  Upon her retirement, they moved back to her hometown of Covington, Indiana where she enjoyed renewing activities like Booklovers, garden clubs, Wabash Valley Birthday Club, Rabb lunches, water aerobics, morel mushroom hunting and many others.  They also enjoyed winters in Zellwood Station, Florida.

Page enjoyed travelling, gardening, and making memories with family and friends.  She has been sharing the sentiments of her mother – that her life was more laughter than tears and to remember the laughter.
