Jean Crawford

She attended KEENER Elementary school, a one room school house, and Pt Marion High School Class of 1948. It was at Keener grade school that she met her future husband Thomas F. Crawford (Tom). Jean and Tom were married at Dixie Church on July 22, 1950. They had two children: Thomas F. Crawford II (wife Gisella Crawford) and Mercedes I. Crawford-Jones. There are five grandchildren and two Great Grandchildren; Kimberly Jean Crawford Keto, Ashley Sue Crawford, Brittney Kay Crawford, Logan Crawford Jones and Dawson Garrison Jones. Great grandchildren: Thomas Joseph Keto and Ella Jean Keto, who gave Mrs. Jean a smile when she heard of her birth the day before she passed. Jean was close to her family; Edward Garrison and wife Virginia of Big Canoe Ga. and Jacob Garrison and wife Georgia, of Augusta National, Fayette, Pa. Glen West (desc) of New Jersey and many nieces and nephews.

After graduating from High School in 1949, Tom took a job offer to work in the Oil fields of Venezuela in 1954. Jean followed Tom to various Oil Field Camps in Venezuela and always made a house into a happy, lovely home. They spent 23 years in Venezuela and after a two year assignment in Houma, Louisiana, they moved to Quito, Ecuador, where they had a full floor lovely apartment with a view of snow capped volcanos.

Don Tomas, as he was known there, retired from "putting oil in the tank" and they moved to Texas in early 1991. Jean picked a new golf course home in Montgomery and named it "La Casona de Jean", Jean's Big House. She and Tom spent their retirement years there until January 2018, when they moved to Woodhaven Senior living facility in Conroe, TX.

Jean rescued two animals, Max and Mr. Lucky, whom she loved dearly. Max was her beloved dog, who was never a step or two behind her. Mr. Lucky the cat was bottle fed when she found him abandoned outside. Her other beloved dog Sugar preceded these two, and was just as loved.
