Lane Durgin

A Life of Service, Loyalty, and Love. Lane Durgin passed away on September 3rd, 2022, at the age of 87. Lane was a beloved husband of 64 years to Virginia, older brother to David, devoted father to children, Debbie, Denis, Donna, and Douglas, grandfather to ten, great-grandfather to five, and friend to many.

Lane was fortunate to live a fulfilling life. He was born in Lewiston, Maine in 1935, to Larry and Jean Durgin, a Naval Officer and an artist. Over the years, they became known as Obasan and Ogee. Lane graduated from Kimball Union Academy in Meriden, NH and later joined the Central Intelligence Agency.

“And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.” John VIII-XXXII These words from the Bible, inscribed on the walls of the main building of the Central Intelligence Agency, convey the intended mission of the employees of the country’s most well-known intelligence agency. But when Lane, then age 19, first walked through the doors of 2430 E St., the CIA Headquarters in 1954, he took them to heart and kept them in mind as he pursued a 35-year career in intelligence, serving his country both at home and abroad.
