Doris Crehan Obituary
Mesa - Born September 6, 1933. Passed away June 20, 2018 in Mesa, Arizona. Preceded in death by loving parents Nan and Albert Oaken and sister Patricia Oaken Pfalzer. Beloved wife of 44 years to the late F. Michael (Mike) Crehan. Loving mother to Kate (Tom) Dustman, Molly Davis, Nora (Rob) Butler, Maggie (Jim) McDonald, Michael Crehan, Delia Crehan and Patrick (Vanessa) Crehan. Special Nana to Tommy, Emma, Anna, Katie, Fletcher, Ian, Lucy, Jack, Will, Lauren, Mattie, Erin and Sean. Great Nana to Lynx, Luna and Bryant. Fond sister-in-law to Dick Crehan, Pat Buscani and Dan (Ruth) Crehan and aunt to many nieces and nephews. She loved her family, close friends, oysters on the half shell, searching for the perfect chile relleno, a good book, a good debate, and her love-hate relationship with golf. We will miss her beautiful smile and generous spirit. Special thanks to her caregivers Belinda and Mario Costa of Belinda's Assisted Living. A private family service will be held in Ireland.
