God does little things for people, like creating the color purple, just to make people happy & give them pleasure in their lives. -Alice Walker, The Color Purple

If Latane Key were a color, she'd have been purple. This beautiful daughter of God entered the world on November 17, 1951 and was received by her heavenly Father on July 10, 2021. She strutted onto the Streets of Gold with restored lungs and an unstoppable heartbeat, fully whole & healed.

Latane was the faithfully devoted wife of Jackie Key & the loving mother of her children. Once her children successfully achieved adulthood under her support & encouragement, she proudly donned the esteemed title of grandmother. Mawmaw Tane was instrumental in the accomplishments of her family as they were growing up. "Tane" was the bonus mother to many, many lucky kids throughout her adulthood & she will be earnestly missed by all of them.

She was also a doting dog mom to her fur baby, Bailey who is now in the loving home of her dog dad, Barry Morris. Barry has been a Godsend to the Key family for decades & a benevolent, steadfast, and dedicated companion to Latane.

Latane had a sweet kindness about her that gave her an inviting presence. Her smile was warm & her laugh was the cutest giggle. She will be remembered most when the color purple shows up, Disney's Dopey character is seen, someone offers a Sun Drop, or the unmistakable gavel sound plays at the beginning of a Law & Order episode. You couldn't get her on a plane, but anywhere she could go in a car, train, or boat. She was there especially when it involved going to a NASCAR race, a child's sporting event or recital, or enjoying some simple R&R, and glamping with her family. She adored being outdoors whether it was the mountains, the beach, or her own yard where she could always be found digging up or planting something to entice songbirds, hummingbirds, & butterflies. The wind spoke to her spirit in the stillness which is the reason for so many chimes surrounding her treasured home on Kenwood Drive.

Latane was preceded in death by her parents, her three siblings, & her husband. She is survived by her son and her daughter and their families, and many bonus children, a large extended family and many friends.

Latane's funeral service was held on Sunday, July 18, 2021, at Lady's Funeral Home Chapel. Burial followed at Carolina Memorial Park in Kannapolis.

Memorials may be made to Hospice and Palliative Care of Cabarrus County, 5003 Hospice Lane, Kannapolis, NC 28081.
