Lanita Ann Polk
7/7/1960 - 9/10/2025

Lanita Ann Weatherly Polk, age 65, passed away on September 10, 2025, in Lake Jackson, Texas. Born on July 7, 1960, in Freeport, Texas, Lanita lived a life centered around love, laughter, and the care of her family.

Lanita was a devoted wife to Dennis ''Lucky'' Polk and a cherished mother to her daughter Tosha Hatfield and husband Ron, and her son Dennis Polk Jr. and wife Jasmine Ling. She found immense joy in being a grandmother to Aiden and Asher Hatfield, and Akira, Kenzie, Ireland, and Penelope Polk. Her nurturing spirit shone brightest when she was with her grandchildren - she loved taking care of them and treasured every moment spent in their company.

She loved her sisters Sandra Watson and husband K.M., Kathy Pelham and husband Jerry, and Janet Harrison and husband Paul. Also survived by brother-in-law Leonard Polk and wife. Lanita also held close the memory of her late parents Ray and Juanita Weatherly; her sisters Patsy Nugent Smith and Sue Smith; and her brother James Weatherly. Her extended family included many nieces and nephews who were touched by her warmth and generosity.

Lanita's life was defined by her unwavering dedication to those she loved. She had a heart for nurturing others - always ensuring that everyone around her felt cared for. Her laughter was infectious and contagious. Everyone would be laughing once she started. Whether through a kind word or smile, she made those around her feel seen and valued.

We are heartbroken that she is gone and will miss her every day. May knowing she is no longer in pain bring comfort to all who knew and loved her. Visitation will be held on September 16, 2025, at 9:30AM at Lakewood Funeral Chapel 98 Dixie Dr in Clute. Funeral Services will begin at 10:00AM followed by burial at Restwood Cemetery.

Pallbearers are: Dennis Polk, Jr, Ron Hatfield, Aiden Hatfield, Ireland Polk, Shawn Smith, and Coby Bradley.
