Nyleve (Harris) Crane

Nyleve Crane, 85, of Ft. Oglethorpe, went home to be with her Lord on Sunday, August 12, 2018.

Nyleve was born on March 7, 1933 in Nashville, Tennessee to the late John Leonard & Mella Mai Harris and, because of her father’s military involvement with the U.S. Navy, she was able to travel and was always telling others about her life adventures.  Nyleve’s heart was so full of love that while employed with Sam’s Club for many years, she was nicknamed “the Peacemaker” by her co-workers and she truly was the personification of God’s unconditional love.  Serving her Lord and Savior with members of the Rossville Church of Christ was a great joy to her and volunteering with the Associated Women of Boyd Buchanan School and the Adelphian Associaton brought much happiness to her life.  In addition to her parents, Nyleve was preceded in death by her husband, Dwight Crane, sister, Betty Harris Marler, and brother, John Evans Harris.

Left to cherish her great memory is her son, David Crane; daughter, Nancy Crane; grandchildren, Jordan, Lauren, & Collin Crane; nieces, Ann Marler Burrell & Kathy (Rick) James; nephews, Charles (Grace) Marler and John (Debbie) Harris; many beloved family members in Texas; special friends, Ed & Rosa Campbell; a host of friends and co-workers that she always considered family.

A celebration of Nyleve’s life will be held on Thursday, August 16th at 2:00 p.m. in the South Crest Chapel with Ministers Jack James & Jerry Weldon officiating.  She will then be laid to rest next to her beloved husband in Lakewood Memory Gardens, South.

The family will receive friends on Wednesday from 4:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. at the South Crest Chapel of Lane Funeral Home & Crematory, at the end of historic Missionary Ridge, Rossville.
