Mr. Lanty E. Armstrong, 70, of Rochester passed away at 11:44 PM on Thursday, November 18, 2021 at his residence.
On July 25,1951 Lanty Edwin was born in Logansport to John D. and Helen L. Severns Armstrong. He graduated from Rossville High School and later earned a BS from Purdue in Agriculture Mechanization in 1974.
Lanty and Shawnee Ann Overmyer were married on June 19, 1977 in Richland Center United Methodist Church. They have shared 44 years of life's adventures. Their union produced a daughter, Lannette and a son Lanty II "Spud". The family tree has continued to grow with the blessings of two grandchildren.
A lifelong farmer, with a passion for agriculture, Lanty farmed for Wayne Draper and later for Fred Zellers. There was nothing better than driving his shiny red Case-International Harvester tractor while chewing on root beer barrels! He was also delighted to devour Ju-Ju's.
To relax Lanty was an avid TV buff watching History, Discovery and RFD channels. His favorite shows were Machinery Pete, the Gold Rush and auction shows. He enjoyed snacking on black licorice or dark chocolate while watching farm equipment auctions.
Returning to his roots, Lanty took the family camping near Monticello's Lake Freeman at White Oaks on the Lake. This is where many memories were made. He and Shawnee traveled annually to Rantoul, IL proud home of the Half Century of Progress Show. He rarely missed a spring plow day.
Left to cherish the memories of Lanty are his wife Shawnee; daughter Lannette Kramer and husband Daniel of Robinson, IL; son Spud Armstrong and wife Molly of Rochester; two granddaughters: Lindy Irene Armstrong and Jolene Lyn Armstrong; sister, Debra Fulwider and husband Bob of Fort Myers, FL; brother Daniel Armstrong of Kokomo; and several nieces and nephews.
Preceding Lanty in death are his parents and his canine companion, Yippe, the Border Collie.
