Margaret Kerrick Crutcher

She has fought the good fight, she has finished the race, she has kept the faith.

Margaret was known by all for her kindness, her gentle voice, her love of flowers and

hummingbirds, and the myriad of cards that she sent to others. Margaret was a wonderful cook

and gardener. Most of all, she was known for her love of God, her family, and her church,

Northside Baptist. Margaret was brave, strong, and courageous - she never once lost her faith in

the Lord throughout this entire battle; her faith was steadfast, unshaken. And in fact, she used

this as an opportunity to constantly speak the name of Jesus to countless people.

Margaret spent her whole life being an encourager to everyone she met; she consistently

demonstrated selflessness and a generosity and sincerity that only comes from Jesus. She was

far more concerned with the needs of others than that of herself. She was an avid prayer

warrior, spending more time in prayer with her Lord than just about anything else. Margaret

spent fifty years with the love of her life, Mike, and together they created a beautiful family.

Margaret adored her daughters and especially her grandchildren. Nothing made her happier

than spending time with the people she loved, and that included her many friends. Margaret left

a tangible mark on this world and she did it one person at a time. There are no words powerful

enough to express the magnitude of the difference she made in all of our lives.

Margaret joins her parents, Floyd and Elizabeth Kerrick, her brother, Leroy Kerrick, and two

precious unborn children in Heaven.

She is survived by her husband, Mike, her sister, Liz (Troy) Allard, her daughters, Missy (Paul) Kirtley and Kim (Micah) DuPree, and four grandchildren, Mackenzie and Brittany Kirtley and Ryan and Sarah DuPree.
