SALLY ANN ROSIN CRANE

1939-2018

Sally Ann Rosin Crane, age 79, passed away at home on November 21, 2018, surrounded by her loving family. Sally was born on Aug. 22, 1939, in Houston, TX to Otto William Rosin and Walter Lee “Sally” Voigt Rosin. She was a proud Eastender all her life, graduating from Milby High School in 1957. During

her senior year, she met Tommy Crane (Milby 1954), and they later married. Sally was a medical secretary and later took a position in the materials department at Schlumberger Well Services before becoming a full time stay-at-home mom. Sally is survived by her husband, Thomas Lee “Tommy” Crane,

who kept her full of love and laughter during their 62 years of marriage; her loving daughters Lisa Renee’ Crane and Laura Diane Crane; and Sally’s heart and soul, granddaughter Kirby Renee’ Crane. Sally had many close family, including cousin Dr. Howard McCann (dec’d) and wife Barbara; sisters-in-law Alywe Crane Mauro (dec’d), Dorothy Crane Hill (dec’d) and Pat Buchanan Rosin; nephew Charles “Chuck” Rosin; and many other beloved cousins. Among her cherished friends were Penny (dec’d) and Freddy Schraub (dec’d), who were family in all but blood. Sally was a very talented artist, especially in pottery and clay sculpture, as well as with oil and acrylic painting. She also enjoyed her tireless work helping to organize numerous Milby H.S. reunions. Sally and Tommy, along with daughters Lisa and Laura, enjoyed camping, sailing on Galveston Bay, and spending time at the small cabin that Tommy built in Spicewood, TX, entertaining family and friends there for many years. Sally was assisted in her final days by the nurses from Vitas Healthcare and the family extends their heartfelt gratitude.
