        In 1970, the recovery room at Fitzsimmons Army Hospital in Denver, Colorado, where 1LT Lane had been assigned before going to Vietnam, was dedicated in her honor.

        In 1973, Aultman Hospital in Canton, Ohio, where Lane had attended nursing school, erected a bronze statue of her. The names of 110 local servicemen killed in Vietnam are on the base of the statue.
