Lana Jean Coventry
BANGOR, Maine – Lana Jean Coventry was reunited with her husband, Roger Paul Coventry, and the Lord Father in heaven on Dec. 15, 2020, when she passed away at Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor, Maine, after a long illness.
Mrs. Coventry was born in Island Falls, Maine, on Sept. 25, 1951, the daughter of the late Frederick and Betsy Humphrey. Her fondest memories were spent crafting, volunteering on various church committees, riding on the back of motorcycles, line dancing, playing cards with friends, and spending time with her daughter and granddogs on the Maine coast.
Mrs. Coventry lived her life guided by an unyielding faith. She will be remembered most for her fiery spirit, witty sense of humor, gift for gab that helped her make friends wherever she went, fierce loyalty to friends and family, and her charitable heart that was always willing to help another.
