Patty Lou Crane

Pat spent many years in rural Green Valley as a farm wife and realtor before she made the move to Florida where she lived the remainder of her life. She was the daughter of Alrick and Gladys (Sheets) Stoehr.

She is survived by her two sons Alrick (Gayle) Short of Havana, and Harold Short of Green Valley. She leaves behind a sister Viola (Ken) Williams of Natchitoches, LA; two nieces Michelle (Mike) Lutz of Nashville, TN and Chris (Robert) Pipes of Monroe, LA; granddaughters Krystina (Logan) Clark, Sophia Short, Madison and Riley Short. She also leaves her beloved dog Angel, who was very dear to her.

She was preceded in death by her parents, one brother Milton Stoehr, a brother-in-law Ken Williams, and a niece Kimberly Self.

Pat embraced life with a joyful spirit and a warm heart. She had a special love for music, especially gospel music which brought her comfort, happiness, and countless treasured moments throughout her life. She absolutely enjoyed going to listen to the Smooth Country Band every Monday night where they would play her favorite song “Rocky Top” just for her frequently. She loved listening to her favorite songs or sharing music with those around her, it was always a source of joy for her.

She also loved traveling and especially enjoyed spending time with her grandkids and going on cruises. Some of her happiest moments were spent at sea, with her friends.

A special thanks to her caretakers Lorna, Sharon, Rinske and Jessica.

There will be no services, per Pat's wishes. The family asks that those who wish to honor her memory do so by spending time with loved ones and friends, enjoying music or donating to your local animal shelter.
