She and George retired in 1971 and moved back to live happily in Grass Valley for many wonderful years. A private celebration of her life will be held Nov. 13 in Nevada City.

My grandma crane was a very sweet woman. She loved long walks with her grandchildren and her many doggie companions. I have fond memories of being with her and my grandpa George in Grass Valley. I love you grandma and I know you are in heaven hugging and kissing your grandson Terry. Love from your Grandaughter Dawn.
