Geneva Jewel “Jo” Crawley, 89, passed away peacefully Wednesday, September 27, 2017 at her home.
She was born October 28, 1927, in Halifax County to the late Olin Crawley and Jessica Dickens Crawley. She was also preceded in death by her husband, Sebastian Cabot Crawley, Jr.; her son Hugh Cabot Crawley; her grandson, John Sebastian Crawley.
Jo was a devoted wife who dearly loved her husband and her number 1 priority was her family. She was a loving mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.
She made her home a place you could go to and feel welcome, safe and loved. Most times you would find her in the kitchen and the conversations held around the table make up some of our fondest memories.
She was a homemaker in every sense of the word and she built her home with a gentle hand, a warm heart, a sweet smile and a whole lot of love.
She is survived by her children, Ron Crawley and his wife Jean of Mount Dora, FL, JoEllen Williams and her husband Kirk of Sanford, FL, Jeff “Bear” Crawley and his wife Bobbie of Roanoke Rapids; her grandchildren, Cabot “Pete” Crawley and his wife Crystal of Aurelian Springs, Chris Crawley and his wife Heidi, Gabe Crawley, Lance Crawley, Brad Crawley, Steve Hall and his wife Sierra and Robin Hall; sixteen great-grandchildren; and special caregivers Ms. Mary, Jessica Crawley and Kali Shaw.
Graveside services will be held at 3:00 P.M. Sunday, October 1, 2017 at Crestview Memorial Cemetery with Rev. Andy Sloan officiating. The family will receive friends at Hockaday Funeral and Cremation Service from 1:00 – 2:30 P.M. prior to the service and other times at the home.
