She could not have asked for better siblings. Each of you brought such humor, wit, comfort, joy, and love into her life. She treasured your time together, and loved recalling the memories of your wonderful lives as adults. She adored her nieces and nephews, and valued her family above all. She was generous: with her time, her help, her possessions. She wanted her loved ones to know how special they were to her. She was a consummate storyteller, and compassionate listener.
She and her grandchildren had a ball together. Dezzy (Jocelyn) and Dashiel could make her laugh like no others. She loved that they could match her outrageous sense of humor, and the gifts they shared each holiday were legendary. She was generous to a fault when wish lists, complete with exact buying instructions, would come through. She loved these past couple of years having them closer to her, cooking, talking, and sharing experiences together. They filled her heart with delight.
Her greatest joys were her husband, daughter, and puppy, and her best adventures were had with them. She loved Tara with all that she was, and passed her exuberance for living on to her. Generosity of nature, love of family, and a zeal for life are wonderful gifts to give a child. She and Kenny had a love affair for the ages. They were always up for adventure, pushing the limits of what others might call good sense. But they had 18 lives between them, and they lived them to the fullest. Just riding in the car with Pat, stopping to take pictures, picking up groceries; everything was more exciting. She made it so. She and Kenny are so happy, whole and well together, but the world has less laughter now that she's gone.
Survivors include her daughter, Tara G. Cranford Teague (Jason), granddaughter, Dez Jocelyn Cranford Teague, grandson, Dashiel Cranford Teague, siblings; Glenda Watts, Bill Loftis, (Nadine) Gayle Henderson and Pamela Phillips (Avery), and many loving nieces, nephews, and cousins.
She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Gary Kenneth Cranford, her parents, Preston and Billie Wood Grant, and a sister, Dollene Loftis Rape.
A private graveside service will be held Saturday, February 20, 2021 at 3:00PM at Green Young Cemetery with Reverend Russell McKinney officiating. Henline - Hughes Funeral Home is assisting the Cranford Family.
