Obituary For Mrs. Lana Cason
Lana Nicole Duncan Cason was born on March 17, 1969, in Valdosta, Georgia to Geraldine Duncan. She departed this life on March 14, 2025. She was preceded in death by her father, the late Mr. Harris “Roddy” Vickers (Beverly), grandmother, Elizabeth Ellen Ann Johnson and grandfather, Hezekiah Duncan, Sr.
She was educated in the Valdosta City Schools system and graduated from Valdosta High School in 1987. She then attended Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College where she received an Associate of Science in Criminal Justice in 1993. She continued her studies at Valdosta State University where she again majored in Criminal Justice receiving her Bachelor of Science in 1995. Inspired by her husband, she furthered her education at Valdosta State receiving a Master of Science in Sociology in 2006 and a Master of Social Work in 2014.
Lana met the love of her life, William Todd Cason, in the Fall of 1998. The two were united in holy matrimony on March 25, 2000, and to that union they were blessed with Amber Fason (Maurice), Chelsea Cason (Ryan), and William Cason Jr.
Lana is survived by her loving husband and beautiful children. She is also survived by one sister, Aissa Devito Duncan and one brother, Weldon Quinton Neloms (Laverne), her mother-in-law, Mrs. Christine Holmes (the late Autley Holmes) and her brother-in-law, Mark “Champ” Holmes (Lisa).
Lana worked as a school social worker for 19 years where she truly had a passion for being an advocate for children. She loved her career and her Wildcat community. More importantly, she loved God and served faithfully as the First Lady of Centennial Missionary Baptist Church, under leadership of her husband, for more than thirteen years. Lana’s life revolved around her husband, children and her love for God.
She leaves a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends to cherish her memories. Additionally, Lana leaves (Cynthia, Sabrina, Sandra, Teresa) and a special group of high school friends, “the Hightower Crew” (Chandra, Michelle, Pam, Tammy, Tracy) to cherish recent and distant memories filled with laughter.
