Cecil Crawford

Cecil was born on December 3, 1919 to Carl and Velma Whitted in Liberty Hill, Texas. She grew up helping her family pick cotton, of which she enjoyed telling her great grandchildren about at the end of her years. Her family was also musically and artistically inclined which she enjoyed and appreciated throughout her life. She married Rufus Crawford on July 8, 1944 and together they raised their daughter, Diane, in Austin, Texas. Rufus was a Paratrooper in WWII and Cecil proudly wore his jump wings on her lapel until the end of her life. Cecil and Rufus enjoyed playing 42 with friends for many years. Cecil was a skilled seamstress, making dresses for her daughter and granddaughter while also enjoying crochet. She felt pride in keeping her home warm and inviting and loved cooking. She had a spirited, energetic personality which will be missed by all who knew her.

Cecil will be loved and missed by her daughter, Diane Moore of Pflugerville, Texas, granddaughter Shannon (Moore) Nelson and husband Ian and great grandsons Justin and Jayton of Cedar Creek, Texas, grandson Chad Moore and wife Liz and great granddaughters Kami and Lauren of Pflugerville, Texas, sister Clarabelle Davidson of Bertram, Texas, and brother William (Bill) Whitted of Lampasas, Texas, as well as loving nieces, nephews and friends. She is preceded in death by her parents, sister Frances Isaccks, and her husband Rufus.

The family will welcome visitors on Wednesday, September 20, 2017 from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm at Cook-Walden/Capital Parks Funeral Home in Pflugerville. Funeral services will be held at 10:00 a.m. Thursday, September 21, 2017 in the funeral home chapel. Graveside services will follow at Liberty Hill Cemetery.

The family would like to thank Falcon Ridge Rehabilitation Center in Pflugerville and all of the friends she made there, and Kindred Hospice of Georgetown for the care and love they provided to Cecil in her last months.
