Estelle Guasco Crawford

Born November 16, 1929, in Memphis, TN, Estelle was born to Crispino and Theresa Guasco and was the last survivor of their eight children. She was also preceded in death by her daughter, Kathleen Marie Crawford and her beloved husband of 72 years, Bill Crawford.

She was a graduate of Whitehaven High School and a member of St. Philip the Apostle Catholic Church in Somerville, TN. She proudly instilled in her children her Catholic faith, love of family, the value of a dollar, and a strong work ethic.

Estelle was an avid Coca-Cola collector and dealer and had a love for gardening. She had an uncanny way to make anything and everything grow! Estelle was also well known for her homemade ravioli (a recipe handed down from her mother) and has become a treasured family tradition.

Estelle leaves behind her three children: Dianne (Rick) Wood, Ed (Denise) Crawford, and Sharon (Chris) Brown; her grandchildren: Michael (Diane) Crawford, Terry Wood, Katie Wood, Maria Crawford, Dustin Brown, Jonathan (Kelsey) Crawford, Brandon Brown, and Megan Brown. She also leaves three great-grandchildren: Ava Christine Crawford, Stetson James Crawford, and Sadie Ray Crawford, as well as her niece Theresa Garrone, along with many other loved nieces and nephews.

The Crawford family would like to extend their deepest gratitude to all who supported Estelle with their love, care and friendship, including Nancy, Linda, Nicole, and Chrissy. Also, Dot Gervasi who regularly visited and prayed with her.
