The lovely Mrs. Lana Lacks Falkenstein, 80, passed away suddenly Thursday, Nov. 30, 2023.
Lana was born in Richmond on June 18, 1943. She attended John Marshall High School and graduated from Oak Hill Academy. After receiving a Cosmetology degree, she began a career as a full-time hairdresser. In November 1978 she married her sweetheart, Hugh Falkenstein, and they began a new life together in Deltaville. They had been married 45 years.
She opened Hair Etc. in Kilmarnock in 1982 and had an abundance of faithful clients, stylists and friends. She later moved her shop to Deltaville and retired in 2015. Anyone that has ever been in one of her shops knows how vivacious she was and that she never turned down a good gossip story when told.
