Mrs. Crane was a devoted Christian and loved her Lord and Savior. She was a member of the Nazarene church for many years where she taught Sunday School as well as sending out cards to missionaries. She currently attended Edgewood Congregational Methodist Church. Mrs. Crane knew what it was to serve others, including her family. She was a devoted Mom, a loving grandmother, and an excellent sister and friend. Mrs. Crane was known for her "famous" chocolate chip cookies, bringing them to family gatherings all around. In her spare time, she enjoyed working in her yard, tending to her many flowers, and spending time outdoors. As a military wife, Mrs. Crane knew what it was to care for her family, and she made sure they knew how much she loved them. She was an amazing hostess and if you ever visited her, she always made you feel welcome. Mrs. Crane will forever be remembered for her tender heart, her kindness, and her meek and gentle spirit. The family would like to extend a special thanks to SouthernCare New Beacon Hospice, Comforting Times, and Mrs. Elsie Pilot, for their continued support and care.
