Pamela Anne (Milne) Crane, 68, of Saranac Lake, NY passed away on March 17, 2022 unexpectedly at her home. She was born in Plattsburgh, NY on September 4, 1953, the daughter of James C. and Mary E. (Wood) Milne. Pam grew up in Brainardsville, NY, the oldest of seven children. She graduated from Chateaugay Central School in 1971. During her years in high school, she was very active in the Art Club. Art was her life, she would say her artistic talent came naturally, "I was born with it". Pam shared her passion for art with her family especially her nieces and nephews. After high school she attended The Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. Then returned back to the North Country and continued art studies at North Country Community College. After graduation she stayed on to settle in Saranac Lake. She loved all the mountains, lakes and scenery that Saranac Lake has to offer. She would spend most days hiking and enjoying the peacefulness of nature. Another love was her volunteering for the Saranac Lake Winter Carnival - her face would light up especially when she spoke of the ice castle. Pam impacted many lives of troubled children and those with disabilities by introducing them to art as an outlet for their emotions. Pam was loved more than she will ever know!
