Mrs. Anita Gail Crane Banks, 55, of Hickory, passed away on Wednesday, January 29, 2025, at Frye Regional Medical Center.
Anita was born on June 22, 1969, in Catawba County to the late George Washington Crane and Ruby Mae Green Crane Setzer. Anita was selfless, free spirited and loved by many. She was loud, obnoxious and could get on your last nerve, but she loved with everything in her! Anita loved and she loved hard, she wasn’t perfect, but she was real and loved you regardless of who you were or what you ever did to her. She wanted all the right things, just never found the strength.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by a brother, Junior Crane, two nephews, Jeffrey Deal and Matthew Crane, great-nephew, Justin “Bubba” Deal, a sister, Martha Karen Crane, and niece, Tonia Crane
Surviving are her three children, Angelica Leann Crane of Hickory, Timothy Wayne Greer Jr. of Morganton and Amber Nicole Mayfield of Rutherford College. Also surviving are eight grandchildren: Jonatasia Wynn, Chance Crane, Kaleil Wayne Crane, Keaton Darnell Crane, Solace Andrew Allen, Madison Marie Jolley, Kaylee Lynn Pipes and Lillian Rayne Chapman, three brothers, Timothy Lee Crane, David Crane and wife Peggy, and Mike Crane and wife Angela, niece, Katrinka Propst and husband Jamie, and nephew, Travis Helton and wife Stephanie, and too many more to name.
Funeral services will be held on Monday, February 10, 2025, at 5:00 P.M. in the Chapel of Heritage Funeral Service with Rev. Jamie Propst officiating.
The family will receive friends on Monday, from 4:00 till 5:00 P.M. at Heritage Funeral Service in Valdese.
