I deeply regret to announce the passing of Robinette Louise (Wootten) Crangle, '62, - my cherished bride of 47 years, light of my life & anchor, my soul-mate, the sweetest & most warm-hearted soul I've ever known, mother of 2 & grandmother of 3 of the most beautiful grandchildren. She passed away @ 12:45, Jan 16, 2013 and will be interred in Arlington National Cemetery in early Feb 2013.
Many of you have met Robin at various functions over the years - some fleeting, others rich & enduring - but all that she cherished & enjoyed to the fullest. As you know, she passed away in January, 2013 from ravages of cancer. Somewhat unexpected, but you can imagine the shock to the family.
Services are set for Ft Myer Chapel @ 3:00pm, 21 March w/ Marines & Chaplain presiding. Interment/graveside service immediately following at Arlington National. Reception @ Tori's (daughter), 1900 N. Taylor Street, Arlington. All are invited, but we fully understand if you cannot make the ceremony.
In lieu of flowers - should you are so inclined - please make donations to the INOVA Foundation Life w/ Cancer @ http://www.inova.org/get-involved/foundation/index.jsp in her name (Robin Crangle).
