Jerney Renee Lantzer

Jerney Renee Lantzer "Sissy", was born December 7, 2021 and gained her angel wings on June 21st, 2026.

Jerney was rambunctious, and full of life, laughter and endless joy. She loved her farm animals, Ms Rachel, her “ocean” and being with her family. She was our greatest blessing, our brightest light, and the center of our world. Though we wish we could have held her longer, we are grateful for every second we shared. She leaves behind a family who loves her beyond words and will carry her in their hearts forever and always.

As an autistic child, she saw the world in her own unique and beautiful way. She taught us patience, understanding, and a kind of love that only she could give. She kept us on our toes with her energy, her curiosity, and the little things that made her so special.

There are no words that can truly describe the pain of losing such a beautiful little girl. Sissy was only with us for a short time, but the love she gave and the joy she brought will stay in our hearts forever.

Sissy was more than a daughter, sister, granddaughter, and aunt. She was a piece of our hearts walking outside our bodies. She was deeply loved, fiercely protected, and cherished beyond measure. Her loss leaves a hole in our family that can never truly be filled. The silence left behind by her absence is unbearable. The moments we once took for granted have become the memories we now hold closest to our hearts.

Though her time on earth was far too short, Sissy’s life mattered. She touched countless lives simply by being herself. We will carry her with us in every sunrise, every family gathering, every holiday, and every moment that reminds us of the love she gave so freely.

Jerney is survived by her loving parents, Quin and Jeremy Lantzer; sisters, Elizabeth (Q) Guarendi, Jazmyne Lantzer, Madisyn Miller, and Jada Lantzer (Max); brothers, Nerm Lantzer, Jakob Lantzer, and Jeren Lantzer; nephew, Max "3"; niece, Harley; grandmothers, Victoria Campisi and Jennifer Lantzer; grandfather, Dennis Lantzer; great-grandmother, Terri Campisi; and many other family members and friends.

She is preceded in death by her grandfather, Rodney Yoder; her uncle Greg Campisi; and her great-grandmother, Joann Zorger.

Our sweet Sissy, we were not ready to say goodbye. We will miss you for the rest of our lives. Until we meet again, you will forever be loved, forever be missed, and forever remain in our hearts.

“Some people only dream of angels. We held one in our arms.”
