She was born on February 27, 1942, in Waycross, Georgia, to the late Willie J. and Thelma G. Ammons. LaNell graduated from Nassau County Adult High School and the American Hairstyling Academy. She will be remembered by many for the years she worked at The Beach Beauty Salon in Fernandina Beach, Florida before she opened her own salon, Styles by LaNell.

LaNell held membership at United Memorial Methodist Church in Fernandina Beach, Florida where she loved to work at the church and was in Gail Shaves Circle. She enjoyed the N.C.I.S. television show so much she named her most recent rescue dog Leroy. LaNell previously rescued Purdy & Gi-Gi. She was a caretaker of everything and loved her plants.  One of LaNell's favorite sayings is "go water the plants." LaNell and Charles' love story was born in the woods where her son Bill hunted with Charles. Bill encouraged Charles to see LaNell for a haircut & the rest is history.
