Mt. Juliet, TN
Benjamin H. Lane, 82, passed away January 7, 2016, in Mt. Juliet, TN. Ben was a longtime resident of Clinton, MS, prior to moving to Mt. Juliet, TN, in 2006.
Ben was born April 2, 1933, in Flora, MS, to the late, Almus and Annye Leigh Lane. Upon graduation from Flora High School, Ben proudly served in the Marine Corps. Upon his discharge, he returned home and graduated from Mississippi College in 1959.

Ben and wife, Carolyn were longtime members of First United Methodist Church of Clinton, MS, where he served many years as a greeter and usher.
