Svetlana V. Conte

Svetlana V. Conte passed away in her sleep on Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025. She was forty-seven years old.

Lana enjoyed being outside, especially mountain biking, hiking, and relaxing at the beach. She also loved spending time in the garden with her mother. Her adventurous spirit led her to travels as far as Peru, Mexico, and Russia. She loved snorkeling and whitewater rafting.

She had a mind for numbers and education; she taught math, computer science, and physics. She loved reading, especially fantasy books by Terry Pratchett and J.R.R. Tolkien. One of her favorite TV shows was Babylon 5. She loved trying new things, and would rarely watch the same movie more than once.

Lana enjoyed playing board games with her friends, as well as video games. Her love of woodworking led to her mother joking that she was both ‘her daughter and her son.’

Lana is survived by her mother Tatiana and her son Marcus, as well as her cat Lera and her dog Barsie.
