Obituary of Mary Alice Crawford
With great sorrow our family has lost the heartbeat, of each of us, with the passing of Mary Alice Crawford on Sunday morning, February 28, 2021at the Titusville Hospital.
Mary Alice was born on September 14, 1946 in Leeper to the late John and Agnes (Heasley) Mays. She married Gary L. Crawford on February 19, 1966.
She was a graduate of North Clarion High School, class of 1964.
Mary Alice worked at GTE Sylvania for a short period, then went on to raising her family and being a wonderful mother to her three children. Once the kids went to school full time she looked after her mom and dad until they passed.
She was a member of St. Titus Church, a Eucharistic Minister and a member of the Altar Rosary. She was also a social member of the Bruce Shorts Post 5958 VFW.
Mary Alice enjoyed her afternoon soap opera, Days of Our Lives. You knew it was one o’clock in the afternoon as she was in her favorite chair with one of her 5 little puppies over the last 40 years. She enjoyed cooking and was very good at it, dinners around the holidays and having cookouts. She loved her family as only a mother can do. Mary Alice will be missed by everyone that knew her. Our family has lost the most loving wife and special mother a family could have hoped for. All the pain is gone, God knows that it was too much but we know she is in a better place in the arms of our loving Lord.
