Jody Caldwell Kinney

Over the course of her life she was many things, but she devoted the lion's share to being a loving mother and grandmother to her four sons and sixteen grandchildren. She had multiple careers throughout her life's journey, but none held a candle to the joy she found in giving herself to those she loved. For many years she wore the hat of mother and father, and she enjoyed every moment to its fullest. She loved to sing and dance, create art, garden, cook huge meals and celebrate with her large extended family. She will be missed dearly by everyone that had the pleasure of knowing her.

She is survived by her four children, Roger Crawford of Daytona, FL, Johnny Crawford of Mt Pleasant, SC, Curtis Crawford of Spartanburg, and Brian Kinney of Albany, NY. She is also survived by her 16 grandchildren, Brandon, Laci, Christian, Roger, Joshua, Destiny, McKenzie, Kameron, Alexander, Andrew, Adam, Whitten, Shelby, Andrew, Lucas, and Stella.

She was preceded in death by her father, Joseph Caldwell, mother Louise Bigham Caldwell, and husband, Lewis Crawford. Jody is also survived by her sister Joy Moore, and two brothers Tom and John Caldwell.
