Patricia K. "Pat" Lane, 71, passed away Saturday March 11, 2023 at Baptist Health Floyd Hospital. She was the former Pat Renshaw, born in Carmi, IL. to the late Marjorie and James “Nick” Renshaw. After high school, Pat took cosmetology courses that led her to opening and operating the Hairport salon in Mt. Carmel, IL. for many years where many of her clients became her friends. She sold the business so her family could relocate to Georgetown, IN. for her husband Jim’s employment. She stayed in the hair business at Dillard’s Salon until switching her employment to L & D MailMasters until she retired in 2013. She relished the time in her earlier years when Jim’s military commitment allowed them to travel the United States and Europe.

     Pat was very family oriented and was a big supporter of her son Ty’s football games and later on loved attending her grandson Crew’s baseball and football games. She was an excellent cook and enjoyed hosting holiday gatherings, game nights, scrabble, pinochle and trivia. She enjoyed mystery novels, crossword and jigsaw puzzles, and she always found amusing greeting cards to send for birthdays and anniversaries.   

     After retirement, Pat loved winter season getaways on Caribbean cruises with her family and friends, the last one being about one year prior to her passing. She was a cancer warrior since receiving her diagnosis in October 2017.

     Pat is survived by her husband of 49 years: James W. Lane, her son: John Tyson Lane(Michelle Mattingly), her daughter: Shannon Neely(Mike), her brother: Nick Renshaw(Susan), her sister: Kathy Kronmiller, and her grandson: Crew Neely.

     A Celebration of Pat’s life is being planned at this time. 

     Memorial contributions in Pat’s name may be given to the Baptist Health Cancer Center(2210 Green Valley Rd. New Albany, IN. 47150)

     Her arrangements have been entrusted to the Naville & Seabrook Funeral Homes.
