JEAN CRAKE
Fortified with the Sacraments of Holy Mother Church on Friday, August 24, 2018 at the age of 92.
Jeanne was a loving Aunt to Edward Stoller and many honorary nieces and nephews whom she called family. Jeanne said “ they were not related by blood but by love.”
She is preceded in death by her parents, Frank and Elizabeth, and three sisters, Margaret Mary, Shirley, and Helen.
Jean was a caring, dedicated Registered Nurse who worked at St. Mary’s Health Center for almost 30 years. She worked nights and was loved and respected by physicians, staff and patients. She was known for her professionalism and the excellent care she provided her patients.
She was a long time member of Cure of Ars Church and either chaired or served on every committee possible at some time in her life.
Jeanne will be remembered as a giving, caring woman, who was always there to help family members and friends. She possessed a strong Catholic faith, had a great sense of humor, an independent spirit, and was always true to her beliefs.

August 26, 2018 at 3:48 pmOur condolences to Edward and his loved ones. Aunt Jean gave her whole life to loving Edward and everyone that came into her life. She had a great mind and remained sharp right up to the time that Our Lord chose to take her to Heaven. She was a great inspiration to everyone she came into contact with. She had a Catholic faith that kept her fighting for her beliefs. We cherish the 25 years that we got to call her our friend. We will remember her spunk, her love, and her laughter. Now she is in Heaven making sure the Angels wings are in perfect condition. We want to thank the Favazzas for their enduring love.
