Betty Crawford of Lacy Lakeview died on December 18th.
She was the beloved wife of the late JL Crawford. December 19th
would have marked their 70th anniversary. She is survived by her
sister Martha Wainwright, two children, Jody Crawford and wife Ruth Nelson
Crawford, and Denise Crawford Fanger, a grandson Shaun Crawford, great
granddaughter Samantha Crawford, and Sammie's mother Kira. She blessed her
family and many others with what seemed to be an unlimited amount of patience,
kindness, and above all, love. We miss our best friend.
Betty was born in Jackson, Mississippi on May 15,1929 to
Talmage and Nellie McBride. Her life was blessed by so many loving family
members and dear friends.
The family would like to thank so many people, but space is
limited. Betty especially appreciated her Pulmonologist, Dr. Henderson, her
Cardiologist, Dr. Cross and her PCPs, Dr. Willis and Dr. Nix for their
extraordinary professionalism and kindness throughout the years. The staff at
Hillcrest Hospital provided a level of care and compassion that was remarkable.
After the first of the year the family will place Betty's
Cremains with JL's at the TX State veterans Cemetery in Killeen.
