Lana L. Steele, 79, of Pacific, passed away on July 20, 2025. Mrs. Steele, daughter of the late Fannie Barnard, was born on July 31, 1945, in Springfield, MO. She received her education from Southwest State College in Springfield, MO. She was united in marriage to James Perry Steele.

Mrs. Steele loved spending time with her family, cherishing every moment and holding them close to her heart. She found great joy in sewing, often crafting special keepsakes for her loved ones, and delighted in preparing delicious meals for gatherings. Shopping excursions brought her happiness, and she was always eager to eat cheesecake and pumpkin pie, savoring the sweetness of each treat as much as the company with whom she shared them.

She was preceded in death by her parents and husband James Perry Steele.

Among her survivors are two children, Chad Steele and wife Shelby of Pacific and Lisa Chrisco of Pacific; grandchildren, Blake Steele of Washington, Jacob Chrisco of Pacific, and Ryan Chrisco and wife Katie of Robertsville; loved ones and friends.

A visitation will be held on Monday, July 28, 2025, from 4-7 p.m. at Nieburg-Vitt, Thiebes Funeral Home, with a funeral service beginning at 7 p.m. Memorial donations can be made to the Alzheimers Association.
