She is also survived by a sister, Pam Dawson and her children, a brother, David Crouch, a niece, Denise Guest and her child, and a nephew, Charles Bishop III. Meme is also survived by a host of extended family and friends. As one of the owners and operators of Catherine’s Beauty Shop in Prospect for nearly 30 years, she was a people person. In her long life she had many hobbies! She loved to read, garden, cook and she crocheted nonstop! As the family matriarch, gatherings and being together were a priority for her. Her family plans to fulfill her desire to donate her remaining afghans to the Wounded Warrior Project in honor of her family members who served in the Armed Forces. Memorial donations in Meme’s memory can also be directed to Wounded Warrior Project. Visitation will be held from 11am-2pm on Tuesday, 12-29-20, with a service to follow at 2pm at Evergreen Funeral Home. A celebration of Meme’s life is in planning for Spring/Summer 2021 when gatherings are allowed.
