She is also survived by a step-daughter-in-law Jeanne Crane, children Kelly and Michael, and their families, all of whom reside in western New York. She was predeceased by two husbands, Joseph L. Lehnen in 1966 and James C. Crane in 1973, and all of her brothers and sisters, which included John, Janet, Robert, Hartwell Henry, and Virginia. Additionally, Mrs. Crane was predeceased by one step-son, Michael T. Crane. Betty was a member of St. Paul’s United Church of Christ in Woodstock. She loved her St. Paul's Church family and appreciated all those who visited her at Skyline Terrace over her almost 9 years of residency. In lieu of an abundance of perishable flowers, she has requested that any donations in her honor be sent to the St. Paul's United Church of Christ, 235 S.
