Dear Merle & June, So Sorry to hear of Mrs. Crawford’s passing, but know in my heart that she is rejoicing with the Lord in heaven. My thoughts and prayers are with you both during this time of grief. Many kind regards, Walter Michael
We are so sorry for your loss, Marie will be missed by many – she was always smiling and happy to see us
To Marie’s Family,
I have many happy memories of Marie Crawford – Sunday School, neighbor, church including Bible School. Often Marie and Spence provided transportation to church events. She was a strong spiritual influence in my life. I thank God for her witness and rejoice in this new phase of her eternal life!

My thoughts and prayers are with the Crawford family during this time. My family attended Forge Valley Baptist Church in the early sixty’s and I have fond memories of Marie as my teacher, encourager and spiritual example for me as a young girl.. I remember going home with the Crawford family for Sunday lunch and the love that Marie and her family showed us. I remember her daughter being a missionary to Ethiopia and thought it was so wonderful that she was serving the Lord in this field. My husband and I have served in Honduras for the last eight years. I feel like Marie had a part in my accepting the call to work with the Honduras/North Carolina Partnership Work and Witness teams.
John and Family, I am sorry to hear about your mother.I will not forget the days she would walk down to the house and check on the kids and I.And come sit with us when we would be fishing at the pond.She loved life and loved the Lord.God Bless You All Jennifer,Matt,Maggie
June,Johnny, Carroll, Shine and the rest of the family, I would like to let you know that I am thinking of you and will remember you in prayer. I will never forget the things Marie did for me in my childhood. She helped me get a spiritual education. I will never forget her. Love to all, Patsy Praytor Mintz
