With sorrow, disbelief and gratitude for her amazingly good and long life, we announce the gentle, graceful, dignified passing of Kathryn Idell Pettes Crandall, peacefully at her home in Knowlton, Quebec, with her cherished daughter, Deirdre Susan Elizabeth Crandall, holding her tenderly in her arms.

I am indeed blessed to have known Mrs. Crandall and to have had the privilege of sharing her wisdom, wit, and life's lessons on several memorable occasions. Knowlton has lost an invaluable asset and treasure, an active participant in and eyewitness to the community's transition over more than a century; the Crandall and Pettes families have lost a beloved matriarch and friend. My condolences to Dierdre Susan and all who held her dear.
