Earl Lanier’s Six-Year Battle with Cancer | Wilmington News
Description
A quiet hero of the land, Earl Lanier, 81, passed peacefully after a six-year battle with pancreatic cancer — far beyond the three-month prognosis. Born on a North Carolina farm and raised among nine siblings, he lived a life rooted in family, hard work, and love. Married to Sara Jane for nearly six decades, he was the proud grandfather of three and great-grandfather of two — his world turned on their laughter and presence. Though illness stole his time, Earl’s strength and spirit outlived every expectation. He leaves behind a legacy of love, resilience, and deep community ties — honored by his family and cared for by the staff at Novant Health. In his memory, honor him with donations to the Atkinson Cemetery Fund or Lower Cape Fear LifeCare Foundation.
