Born December 12, 1938, in Cairo, Mrs. Crawford was the daughter of the late I.B. Page and Mary Baggett Page. After graduation from high school in Cairo, she continued her education at Norman Park College where she received a degree in accounting. After college she worked for Grady General Hospital.

A faithful member for many years of Tabernacle Baptist Church in Cairo, Mrs. Crawford served as pianist and organist. Most important to her was her relationship with her Lord and the love that she shared with her beloved family.
In addition to her parents, Mrs. Crawford was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 62 years, Raiford Crawford; her son, Stacey Ray Crawford; and a close sister, Pauline McCorkle and other siblings.
Those left to cherish her memory include her children, Robin C.
