Lana is a transplant from Missouri. In 1986 she married her college sweetheart, Shannon, and moved with him to Des Moines, Iowa. Even though they grew up as “city kids,” they always dreamed of owning an acreage. After visiting Winterset for their 20th wedding anniversary, they finally knew where they wanted to live. For their 25th wedding anniversary, they “Bought the Farm” and haven’t looked back. They now have thirteen acres, goats, ducks, chickens, rabbits, a barn cat, and one adult son.
After years of being a client, Lana is thrilled to be able to work at Winterset Veterinary Center. Dr. Jim and Dr. Lonna have been patient teachers of animal husbandry while providing attentive care to her wide range of animals. Being part of the exceptional team at Winterset Veterinary Center is really a dream come true for her. Lana has too many hobbies to list. Some of her favorite things to do are cooking, canning, woodworking, reading, sewing, knitting, crochet, learning small engine repair, and learning new useful skills.
