Edna Marye Crawford

Edna Marye Wilson Crawford, born February 11, 1942, in Vicksburg Mississippi, passed away peacefully on November 19, 2014 surrounded by her family.

Marye loved family, friends, horses, and dogs and rarely in that order. She would come to love countless pets over the years, with Belle her blue heeler at the top of the list. Her passion and commitment to those she loved knew no bounds.

She was a storyteller with a flair for the overly dramatic. She possessed and routinely exercised the uncanny ability to bring humor to situations that desperately needed it. In giving so much to others, there were times when Marye left little for herself. For the past six months, she faced improbable odds with a wry smile and a graceful blend of fear, hope, tears, sarcasm, and love for those near to her heart. She will forever live in our hearts, memories, and prayers.
She is preceded in death by her parents Mittie Scott and Roger O’Neal Wilson, husband Jack William Crawford II, brother Robert Samuel Wilson, sisters Katherine Louise Peeples Kemp and Agnes Effie Styles Simmons.

Those left to cherish her memory are brother Roger Benard Wilson, sister O'Levia Neil Wiese, daughters Carmen Gayle Parker and husband Wayne, and Kimberly Lea Crawford, sons Jack W. Crawford, III (Trae) and wife Amy, Roger Kelly Crawford and wife Lori, Russell Travis Crawford, 15 grandchildren, and 7 great-grandchildren.

A memorial service will be held 2 pm Saturday at Providence Funeral Home 807 Carlos G Parker Blvd NW, Taylor, TX 76574.

In lieu of flowers the family requests that donations be made to the Hope for Horses Equine Rescue mailing address 8853 FM 974 Bryan, TX 77808 or website: www.hopeforhorses.com
