Jane Frances Cochran Lanahan, 73, of Monkton, formerly of Bel Air and Las Vegas, Nevada, passed away peacefully at home on Tues., March 1, 2022.
Born in Baltimore on June 1, 1948, she was the oldest child of the late T. Francis and Mary Jane Cochran (nee Leipold).
On October 6, 1989, she had her first date with Leo J. Lanahan, Jr., the love of her life. She frequently told the story of how she prayed “for an orphan with two children” and how God blessed her that way. Although Janie and Leo married on May 19, 1992, October 6 was always their “official” anniversary.
Jane attended grade school at St. John’s in Hydes. She was a 1966 graduate of North Harford High School.
Jane is survived by the children of her heart, Janel H. Parke (Mitchel) of Cambridge; Craig S. Lanahan (Misty) of Stevensville; her stepsons, Leo J. Lanahan, III (Valerie) of Lutherville and Patrick W. Lanahan (Misty) of Easton. In addition to her eight grandchildren and six great-grandchildren, she is survived by her siblings Thomas F. Cochran, Jr. (Kathy), Rebecca Hedges (Fred), Elizabeth Eastburn (Warren), Margaret Jordan (Wayne), Christopher Cochran (Amy), David Cochran and Jeffrey Cochran (Prem Kumari). Janie is also survived by numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends.
