Sherry D. Crane, 66, went on to be with the Lord on August 17, 2024. She passed peacefully in Fairhope, Alabama, after a brave battle with pancreatic cancer.
The daughter of Kenneth and Delories Darr (both deceased), Sherry grew up in Georgia and Texas. She joined the United States Air Force and was stationed in Anchorage, Alaska, where she met her future husband on a blind date.
Sherry was a devoted wife to her husband, Dr. Carl D. Crane III, with whom she shared forty-three years of love and partnership. She was also a cherished mother to her son and two daughters, Ted Crane of New Mexico, Elisabeth Nelly of Georgia, and Stephanie Merritt of Alabama. As well, she was a beloved grandma to her three grandchildren, Sadie, Owen, and Lily.
Sherry lived a life full of adventure, love, and service. She traveled the world, embracing diverse cultures and experiences. From trips to South Korea, Australia, and even Kurdistan, Iraq, her stories and memories of these travels were shared with joy and enthusiasm.
Sherry profoundly loved serving others, dedicating her time to volunteering at Grace Presbyterian Church, crafting and cooking for various charities, and mentoring students with the PK Yonge Robotics Team.
Sherry served her country as an air traffic controller in the United States Air Force. Her service was a source of immense pride for her and her family.
A memorial service to celebrate Sherry's life will be held at 1:00pm on Saturday, September 7, 2024, at Grace Presbyterian Church, 3146 NW 13th St, Gainesville, Florida.

Sherry D. Crane will be remembered for her kindness, strength, and spirit of giving. She touched many lives and leaves behind a legacy of love and service. She will be deeply missed but never forgotten.
