Shetae Sandcrane Obituary

BIRNEY - Shetae Krystale' Sandcrane was born Jan. 21, 2001 to Crystalynn Shoulderblade and Sheldon Sandcrane. Shetae was named after the late Josie Sooktis Magpie Woman.
Everyone knew Shetae as Baby Girl or Minnie Crystal. On Dec. 15, 2004, Maheo called Baby Girl and took her hand near the Birney Divide. There is now another angel in the sky.
Shetae leaves behind her parents Crystalynn (Isaac Washington Jr.), Sheldon (Michelle Littlewolf); her brother, Keyshawn Trey; grandparents, Ethelyn Spang, Patty Oldman (Eric Killsnight, Sr.); great-grandparents, Fern Shoulderblade and Gilbert and Nancy ¬Whitedirt. Shetae always had other "dads" including Isaac Washington, Jr., Don Henry Limberhand and Joel Means. Along with numerous relatives from the families of: Spang, Fisher, Harris, Shoulderblade and Blackwolf.
Shetae was a very smart, active, happy and beautiful child. Her recent highlights was being a student in the Can Do Headstart Program, patiently waiting with her small backpack, for her uncle Keith, to pick her up in Birney every school morning. Proudly showing everyone the projects she had completed at school. Shetae was always with the girls in Birney, always following them, her brother and other friends, taggling but still happy. She couldn't wait for Christmas and her upcoming birthday within the next month. Shetae always wanted to be in the same activities and programs as her brother. She couldn't wait to turn five years old, to join the NC Boys & Girls Club in Lame Deer. Always wanting to be wherever her brother was. Shetae has brought much happiness to all and had good times while she was here. We are truly blessed to have a child/grandchild like this.
The shock, hurt and anger were overwhelming to us all. But we all know Maheo has a plan for all of us. Baby Girl is now in the palm of his hand and in a better place. He has set her free. Maheo will mend our hearts.
Nothing will ever be the same until we meet again. You are truly missed by everyone. Tons of love.
Wake Service will be held on Monday, Dec. 20, at 7 p.m. at the Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church in Lame Deer. Funeral Service will be held on Tuesday, Dec. 21, at 11 p.m. at the Boys and Girls Club of the Northern Cheyenne in Lame Deer.

Sheldon & Crystal,



We are so sorry to hear of your loss. When a parent loses a child, it is an unbearable thing to handle. All you can do is handle it one day at a time. Remember to give your son a hug and kiss everyday because life is too precious to take for granted.
