Barbara Ann Crowe

Barbara Ann Braddock Crowe, our loving Mama and Nanny, passed away peacefully at the age of 78 on December 25, 2015, in her home surrounded by her loving family. She was born in Rice, Texas, on Feb. 14, 1937, to Tiny and Clyde Braddock. She is preceded in death by her parents and siblings Bill Braddock and Betty Dowdy. Barbara is survived by her sister Peggy Gill of Irving and her twin brother Bobby Braddock of Mesquite.

After several moves around Texas, Barbara and her husband Marvin, who died in 1977, settled in Mesquite, Texas. Barbara is survived by their four children: Terry Phillips and her husband Eddie Phillips of Terrell, David Crowe and his wife Joan Crowe of Rowlett, Liz Qualls and her husband Andy Qualls of Heath, and Marvin Crowe and his wife Cheryl Crowe of Mesquite. She was blessed with nine grandchildren: Jason Phillips, Neil

Phillips, Bonnie Phillips Wester and her husband Chaz, Kevin Crowe, Lindsey Qualls James and her husband Justin, Katie Qualls Sauce and her husband

Aaron, Travis Qualls, Chelsea Crowe and Cody Crowe, along with eight beautiful great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. Barbara loved others and made everyone feel extremely important and special. We will miss our compassionate, generous Mama, Nanny, sister and friend who taught us to treat others with love and respect. She always said she did not have anything to give to others, but she did: her last dollar in her wallet, her sweet smile of encouragement, her words of praise, and her undeniable love for animals.

Be comforted, for you are not alone.

Private burial to follow at Restland.
