Euralana “Lana” Hurley Goble, age 72, passed away on December 20, 2020 at University of Michigan hospital after a recent cancer diagnosis.
Born December 7, 1948, she was the daughter of the late Eural Warren Hurley and Dixie Mae Steele Hurley of Betsy Layne, Kentucky. She attended Betsy Layne High School where she was a majorette and drum majorette, graduating in 1966. She attended Pikeville College where she received her Bachelors of Science degree in Psychology. Lana married her high school sweetheart, Harold Don Goble, and soon after they moved to Ypsilanti, Michigan to pursue their teaching careers and start their family.
Lana was a life-long educator with Willow Run Community Schools, and was a friend and confidant to all she knew. Her work fulfilled her in many ways, both professionally and personally. She loved and cared for her students and fellow teachers deeply.
Her greatest love was being a Nana, mother, and wife. She exuded pride, joy, and happiness when she was with her family, and she was able to pass peacefully with them by her side in the hours leading up to her sudden passing.
She enjoyed watching her granddaughters’ many activities, her yearly trips to Florida, being at the beach, northern Michigan, bird watching, reading, puzzles, talking politics, University of Michigan football, trips to Kentucky, shopping, and being with those she loved. She made friends with anyone she would meet and loved fiercely. Her beauty radiated from within, and her warmth, kindness, and beautiful soul will be missed by many.
Lana is survived by her husband of 53 years, Harold Don Goble of Willis, Michigan; daughter, Chanin Heise and her husband, Scott Heise of Okemos, Michigan; two granddaughters, Katie and Lindsay Heise of Okemos, Michigan; a sister, Valerie Hurley Cooley of Prestonsburg, Kentucky; and brother, Randall Warren Hurley of Garland, Texas.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date. A final resting service will be conducted at Davidson Memorial Gardens in Ivel, Kentucky.
