1935 - 2021
 Paul Bernard Lane, 86, Huntington, WV, beloved husband of Carolyn Little Lane, passed peacefully at home on December 30, 2021. Paul was born at home in St. Albans, WV on March 3, 1935 to Bernard and Mary Hume Lane. His siblings, Ted (Judy) Lane, David (Beverly) Lane, and Ann Lane (George) Pope, share many humorous stories with tales of adventure, grit and determination as Paul spelunked in unexplored caves of WV, fished and hunted with his friends and many dogs, and served in his community as an Eagle Scout. Throughout his life, Paul served in the United States Army as an MP and as a WV State Trooper, graduated from Marshall University, and retired as an Insurance Claims Manager. As a 32nd Degree Mason, Paul belonged to the Minerva Lodge #13 A.F. & A.M. in Barboursville, WV. He was a member of Lewis Memorial Baptist Church but also regularly attended Sunday services at River’s Edge. Paul and Carolyn were married for 42 years. They made their home in Huntington but enjoyed many months relaxing and making new friends at River’s Edge Campground in Ashton. Their family includes David (Kim) Lane, Mike (Melissa) Lane, Debra (BB) Smith, and Cristi (Bruce) Wetherholt. Always a blessing, oldest granddaughter Angie Lane (HD) Cory, follows Grandad’s example of service to others. Paul is loved and admired by all of his grandchildren (Michael, Matthew, Zackary, Shawn, Taylor, and Haley), great-grandchildren, his entire family and friends. Funeral services will be held at Lewis Memorial Baptist Church on Tuesday, January 4, 2022 at 2PM with Doctor David Lemming officiating. Due to current guidelines, masks will be required. The family will receive visitors at the church prior to the funeral at 1PM. Immediately following the funeral, the Military and Masonic graveside rites will be held at the Abbey of Devotion at Ridgelawn Memorial Park on West Pea Ridge. Wallace Funeral Home of Barboursville is assisting the family with arrangements. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Lewis Memorial Baptist Church or Gideons International.

Paul fought the good fight, finished his course & has received his crown of righteousness from the LORD. As you walk through the valley of the Shadow of his death, I pray & trust you will feel the comfort & strength that comes from the LORD.
