Michelle "Mikki" Rene (Ramirez) Cranfill

Mikki Rene (Ramirez) Cranfill, resident of Mentone, passed away at her family’s home on June 21, 2026. She was born on September 01, 1954 in Santa Monica to parents Tony and Eleanor Ramirez. Mikki moved to Redlands in her youth and spent much of her early life working alongside her family in the citrus groves of Redlands. She later broadened her life experiences to work as a van driver, parts delivery driver, and trucking manager.

 Mikki was a loving and devoted mother to not only her two daughters, Toni Marie and Christina, but to several youth that crossed her path throughout the years. She deeply cherished the time she spent with her grandchildren, Anais, Blaze, Eva Marie, and Avriella and her great-grandson Grayson. She is preceded in death by her parents and sister Cathy Ann and survived by her brother Tracy. 

Mikki loved spending time in nature including traveling to new locales, hiking, the beach, and staying at home in the garden. Her strong love and compassion for animals stretched far and wide with her many rescues and adored pets. She had a fondness for cooking and baking that has been passed through the generations. 

At this time there are no immediate plans for a memorial service.
