Lana Jane Sterling, age 71, of Union City went to join the lord on Sunday, January 19, 2020, after a courageous 3 ½ year battle with lung cancer. She was born on February 9, 1948 in Titusville, PA.
Lana was preceded in death by her parents, (Robert and Violet Cronauer Clark); and three brothers, Steven, Robert, and Larry Clark.
She is survived by her husband of 54 years, David Richard Sterling; four children, Crystal Shrock (Mike), Tracey Fielding (John), Randy Sterling (Chrissy), and Kimberly Bell (Gary). Lana has 13 grandchildren; who were the light of her life- Ryan (Ashley) Shrock, Jared (Elisha) Shrock, Taylor (Kyle) Piazza, Brandon (Hope) McGahen, Shawn McGahen, Devin and Kiersten Fielding, Amanda, Michael, Harley and Dalayna Sterling, Gage and Gavyn Bell.

She is also survived by three sisters- Barbie Brown, Marlene Beadow, Brenda Peters and Lena Edwards, sister-in-law and close friend.
Lana‘s greatest accomplishment in life was caring for all those around her- including childcare for Gage and Gavyn, as well as care for her mother and brother (Steve) for many years. Lana enjoyed creating custom decorations, Halloween costumes, birthday cakes for grandchildren, and home improvement projects with her children. Lana went above and beyond for her family and friends. Every holiday was hosted by Lana, where she cooked every dish.
A heartfelt thanks to Dr. Rothman and the infusion nurses at St. Vincents and Hamot for taking phenomenal care of our mom. We also want to thank the staff at AseraCare Hospice.
She will be loved and missed by all who knew her and is forever in our hearts.

Sending thoughts and prayers to Lana’s family and friends. I remember her from when we were neighbors but never knew her well. Larry always spoke of her fondly. I do remember how pretty she was!
Our fathers were brothers who stayed close. Lana and her brothers and sisters and I and my brothers and sisters would run wild while our parents visited. We lost touch after their deaths but the good memories remain.
