ELIZABETHTON - Lana Love Perry, age 76, of Elizabethton, Tennessee went home to be with the Lord on Tuesday, December 16, 2025, from her residence. Born on April 16, 1949, Lana was the daughter of the late Charlie Love and Emmalee Feathers Love. In addition to her parents, Lana was also preceded in death by her sisters: Grace Dempsey, Sandra Curd and Joan Love Keller; brother, Larry Love.

Lana Perry was a fun-loving soul who never met a stranger and was known by all who knew her as humble, gracious and a true joy to be around. She had a deep love for caring for animals and found beauty in nurturing God's creation. Lana's faith was central to her life; she loved the Lord and could often be found spending her time reading the bible and reflecting on God's word. She was a devoted member of Valley Forge House of Prayer, where she found strength and peace in her faith. She cherished time spent near the water, often spending time at the lake or taking trips to the beach with family. At home, she found happiness in working in her flowers, tending them with the same care and love she showed to everyone in her life.

Those left to cherish and remember Lana include her beloved husband, William Kuhn, of Elizabethton; her nieces: Shay Keller House, of Estero, Florida, Patricia Keller McNamara, of Estero, Florida, Becky Keller Simerly, of Elizabethton, Vicky Keller Delzingo, of Johnson City, Dru Dempsey, of Knoxville, Nephews, Greg Dempsey, of South Carolina and Roddy Curd, of Piney Flats.

A celebration of Lana's life will be conducted at 2:00 PM on Monday, December 22, 2025, at Tetrick Funeral Home – Elizabethton with Rev. Timothy Simery officiating. The family will receive friends between the hours of 1:00 PM and 2:00 PM at the funeral home prior to the service on Monday.
