| 4722 | The Beckley Register-Herald, Beckley, WV, Online Edition, 27 Jan 2012 Arthena Maxine Crane Redden, 88, passed away Tuesday, Jan. 24, 2012, at her home. Born Sept. 6, 1923, she was the daughter of the late Tony and Alzina Propps Crane. She was preceded in death by her husband, Herman L. Redden; two grandsons, John Harless Jr. and Frankie Redden; sisters, Lackie Banton, Ludie Dooley, Erna Poe and Martha Crane; brothers, Ray and Roy Crane; half-sisters, Thelma Powers and Iva Brown, and half-brothers, William, Jimmy, Pleas, and Wilbert Simmons. She is survived by daughters, Anna Puett and husband, Don of The Villages, Fla., Margaret Golden and husband, Larry of Rainelle, Janet Page and husband, George of Bowie, Md., Kathy Lewis and husband, Oscar of St. Albans, and Mairlyn Kelley and husband, Steve of Rupert; sons, Lexie Redden and wife, Barbara of Orient Hill, Bob Redden and wife, Judy of Interlachen, Fla., and Pete Redden and wife, Penny of Rainelle. Arthena is also survived by sisters, Mary Boothe, and Marie Boothe, both of Orient Hill; sister-in-law, Lois Crane of Upper Marlboro, Md.; 16 grandchildren; four stepgrandchildren; 25 great-grandchildren; 20 step-great-grandchildren, and numerous nieces and nephews. Arthena was a graduate of Crichton High School and a homemaker. She single-handedly cared for her husband for 17 years after his debilitating stroke. Dad liked to go on drives, so one of Mom's daily chores, rain or shine, was to take him on a drive. Taking care of someone who has lost almost total use of one side of the body is, at best, difficult, but trying to get this person out the door and into and out of the car every day seemed almost impossible. She was a small woman, but she had a lot of will and strength and managed to get Dad somewhere almost every day (except when the snow was so deep she couldn't get out). She was his faithful nurse until the day he died. A special place in heaven must be reserved for angels like this. "There's no place like home." Mom said this back in the spring of 2010 when she was recuperating in the hospital from her stroke. She couldn't wait to get back home. She liked to travel earlier in her life, but the last five or six years of her life she was content to remain at home. She loved flowers and enjoyed spending time out-of-doors, but her greatest love was her family. She touched the hearts of many and will always be remembered as loving and kind. She was a caregiver for most of her life, caring for her eight children, taking care of her elderly mother until Dad had his stroke, then taking care of Dad for almost 17 years. She will sorely be missed by all who knew her. Mom is at last on her way to her eternal home. Services will be at 11 a.m. Monday, Jan. 30, 2012, at the Wallace & Wallace Chapel in Rainelle, with Pastor Fred Fryar officiating. Entombment will follow in the Wallace Memorial Mausoleum in Clintonville. Friends may call 6 to 8 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 29, 2012, at the funeral home.
