10/11/2012 Lantz

Madeline S. Lantz, 91, passed away peacefully on Thursday, October 11, 2012 at Episcopal Church Homes in Louisville, KY.
She will be remembered as a loving & devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother; world traveler, master seamstress and active member of Douglass Blvd Christian Church. Her grace, charm and kindness touched all who knew her; she will be dearly missed.
She met and married the love of her life, L.B. Lantz in El Dorado, Arkansas. The couple moved to North Little Rock shortly thereafter to raise their two children, Bruce Jr. and Joanna. In 1996, following her retirement from the internationally respected Poe Travel Agency after 25+ yrs of work, she moved to Louisville, KY to be closer to her daughter.
She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, L.B.
She was survived by her son, Bruce Lantz, Jr. of North Little Rock, her daughter, Joanna L Ackerman (John) and dear family friend, Pamela Richardson, both of Louisville, KY; grandchildren Brian (Chelsea), Jeffrey, Susan and Deborah Lantz of North Little Rock; Libby Loeser (Matthew), SSGT Karl Ackerman and cherished great-granddaughter Agnes Loeser, all of Louisville, KY.
A graveside service will be held at Pinecrest Memorial Park in Alexander, AR, on Wednesday, October 17, 2012 at 10:00 a.m., to be conducted by her minister, Dr. Derek Penwell of Louisville, KY.
