Lanie Willhoite

Children’s Church Assistant
(she/her)

Born and raised in Fort Madison, IA, Lanie moved to Tulsa, OK in 2015. She holds a degree in Early Childhood Development and has spent her career working with children—teaching preschool at Bethany Community School and serving as a nanny for multiple families over the course of nine years. One of her greatest passions is creating safe, supportive spaces for both kids and parents.

In 2024, Lanie married her husband, Miles, whom she first met while teaching at Bethany in 2019. They now live in Midtown Tulsa with her younger sister, Colie, and their three rescue dogs—Solo, Dexter, and Wicket.

Outside of work, Lanie enjoys a mix of creative and cozy hobbies: playing Dungeons & Dragons, diving into the Star Wars universe, working out in a Pilates class, drinking coffee, listening to emo music, and rewatching her favorite comfort TV shows.
