Following where her father was stationed with the U.S. Navy, she was brought up and attended schools in various places, living for a time in Indonesia, Washington State, and southern California. She met Michael R. Radke in southern California and they were married on September 6, 1969, in Las Vegas, Nevada. They made their home in Corona, California for more than thirty years, where Lani worked for Weiner Steel as an accountant for fifteen years, and Michael worked as an engineer for Pacific Bell. Michael retired early due to disability in 1992 and they moved to Holdenville in 1993, where they very much enjoyed taking their wave runner out on Holdenville Lake as often as possible.

She was a member of a bowling league and loved bowling with several friends, and she was almost never seen without her diet Dr. Pepper in her hand. She moved in 2015 to Mentone, California to be near her family and granddaughter.
