On May 31, 1980, LaNee and Fernando Reyes were united in marriage in Wellington. They would spend over 47 years raising their family and creating cherished memories with one another.

LaNee lived a vibrant life full of adventure and love, and her legacy is characterized by her indomitable spirit and enduring love for her family. She was a devoted paraprofessional in the education sector before her retirement. Lanee loved to travel, exploring the world’s vast beauty, and nurtured a special fondness for horses and other animals.
