Obituary: Sandra Rae Crane

Sandra Rae Crane of Ocoee, Florida, passed away on Jan. 31, 2021. She was born in Oakland California, on March 8, 1947.

Sandy graduated from Merced High School and received a general degree upon graduation. She was married to the late Mr. Richard Crane and lived in Ocoee, Florida since 1985.

Sandy had a passion for helping others and worked for Ace Hardware in Winter Garden for 22 years; she was the person to go to whenever you needed anything. In her spare time, she enjoyed reading and baking, and Sandy loved the holidays! The house was a Christmas wonderland every year.

Sandy was an amazing cook, but in the last 10 to 15 years, she really got into baking. Every Sunday and Monday she spent the whole day baking to take goodies to work. Her family at Ace really kept her going, and she loved her job. She made so many friends and lost some dear ones along the way.

She is survived by her children, Harry Lyman Dickinson (Caroline) and Heather Mason (Wayne); and her grandchildren, Lyman Dickinson (Candice) and Meagan Baus Casaceli; and her great-grandchildren, Emma Rose, Harlow Magnolia and Everette Lyman. She also loved her grand-furbabies.

A memorial gathering was held from 3 to 6 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 6, at Woodlawn Funeral Home.
