Michael "Mickey" Lanty, 71, of San Angelo passed away on January 19, 2020. He was born on October 14, 1949 in Queens, New York, to Raymond and Josephine Lourita Lanty. He was married to Rosalie Ann Lanty in Springfield, Massachusetts on December 26, 1969 and began a 20 year career in the U.S. Air Force. He retired in 1990 in San Angelo, Texas. Mickey then worked for Wal Mart and taught at Lakeview High School over a period of 20 years.
Mickey had a passion for photography, especially nature subjects like wildlife and scenic scapes that were often published in the local newspaper. This started while in the service and continued until his death.
He also pursued square dancing with the vigor and vitality that was his nature and traveled to local and distant square dance festivals as far away as Oklahoma, Louisiana, and Mississippi. Indeed, he was attending a square dance event in San Antonio where he passed from this life.
He and Rosalie undertook to rescue and provide shelter to any roving creature that sought a home.
He will be interred at Johnson's Lawnhaven Memorial Gardens where a graveside service will be held Wednesday, January 29, 2020 at 2 PM in the care of Johnson's Funeral Home.
