Shirley Marie Arthur-Crawford, formerly of Ghent went to meet her Savior on Monday, September 28, 2015, surrounded by her loving family and friends. Mrs. Crawford was a 1956 Graduate of Richmond High School and graduated from Beckley College. She worked at Beckley Manufacturing and was a secretary at Ghent Elementary School, then later as a kindergarten aide at Ghent Elementary School. Mrs. Crawford served as a secretary/treasurer, and was a former Sunday School Teacher at the Ghent Missionary Baptist Church. She also sang in the church choir for many years.
Mrs. Crawford was a member of the Order of the Eastern Star, Bethlehem Chapter Number 71 of Beckley. She had been residing with her daughter Stephanie in Richlands, NC for almost two years, where she became a member of the Community Christian Church in Richlands. She loved angels, flowers, reading, painting, her Kindle, and watching QVC. But most of all she loved her Lord and her family. Mom read in her Bible every day. She has had a hard time with her health, but she is no longer sick or in pain. We all loved her so very much and will miss her, but we know we will be with her again one day. Thank you so much Allen, Stephanie, and Ali for taking such good care of “Nannie.” She loved being there with you. Goodbye for now “Mommamiasangria.”
