DEATH NOTICE
Milly Crawford Stanges passed easily and gently into the pre-dawn night on Sunday August 11, 2024. She bowed out with a lone tear on her left cheek and the glimmer of a beautiful smile across her face. She was kissed farewell and left everyone in her life with all the boundless love in her heart. Milly fully enjoyed life, always engaging people in new endeavors and radiating with confidence and optimism. Milly was deeply serious about helping others first and improving life’s circumstances for any and all in her orbit. Who among us couldn’t fall in love with Milly’s enthusiasm, warm smile and shining personality. Sadly, the last chapter of Milly's life was a difficult, relentless encounter with terminal brain cancer. Milly persevered through the end with grace, courage and dignity. Life is so precious and so was Milly. Her loving, generous heart and soul were a gift to all of us. Peace and Joy!
