On May 13th, 2023, Jeannine Crandall got her wings and met the love of her life at the gates of Heaven. She was surrounded by her entire family.

After many stops along the way her family found themselves in Gettysburg, SD where she graduated from High School and met and married the love of her life, Dennis Crandall in 1958. Denny worked for a number of heavy construction companies which allowed them to travel the mid-west. Finally, in 1971 they came to Spearfish, SD where Denny helped build I-90 and Jeannie decided it was home, this is where they raised their three kids.

Jeannie was loved by many, the life of the party, and a helping hand to all. She was the most loving mother, the best grandmother, and a friend like no other. She loved keeping busy volunteering, sewing, crafts, woodworking, crocheting, puzzles, and reading.
