CRANE, "Margaret" Ann: December 3, 1921 - October 29, 2014 Ann Crane left us this week in her 92nd year. She was born in Elk Point, Alberta to Dr. Fred and Cora Miller. She, and her brothers George, Jim and Richard and sister Joanne enjoyed a rich family and community life. Ann graduated from high school at 16 and went on to get her Bachelor of Science in Nursing and became a Public Health Nurse in Vancouver's downtown east side. She met her life partner David Crane, when he returned from WWII and they followed Dave's golf career from Vancouver to Langley, and finally Kelowna where they lived for the rest of their days. She was an ardent sports fan, with much enthusiasm particularly for the Canucks, Blue Jays and the BC Lions. Her caring and compassionate nature was evident in her love for her family, her community, her Avon customers, her friends and not to mention complete strangers. Ann was predeceased by her husband David Buchanan Crane in 1991. She is survived by daughters Nancy (Greg) McKinstry, Marjorie (David and his children Kaylan, Shay) Horne, Jean (Stephen) Bryans and Trudy Crane (Patrice Leroux), her brother Richard Miller, grandchildren Adam, Philip, Jessica, Aimee and Chloe. The family would like to especially recognize the Westbank Palliative Care team, the staff of the Central Okanagan Hospice House and Sutherland Hills Rest Home. The special care of Gabe Mackintosh, Sandie Marsh and Dr. Paul Hart meant a tremendous amount to both Mom and the family over these last few months. Donations, in lieu of flowers, can be sent to the Central Okanagan Hospice House, 2035 Ethel St, Kelowna, BC V1Y 2Z6. Memorial services will be held on Monday, November 3, 2014 at 1 PM at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfieldfuneralhome.com, 250-860-7077.
