Effie Mae (Pat) Crawford Patrick, 91, entered into Heavens Gates on September 19, 2014! Effie was born November 1, 1922 in Lawtey, Bradford County, Florida to Robert Newton Crawford and Viola Chism Crawford. She was predeceased by her husband, Roy A. Patrick in March of 2001. She was also predeceased by all of her brothers and sisters (7). She is survived by her daughter, Gail Grimes (Johnny) of Jacksonville, FL and her granddaughter, Amanda Kathryn Grimes of Carrefour, Haiti. She retired from Carolina Casualty Insurance Company in 1988. Effie was an avid genealogist and never passed up an opportunity to discuss her family roots. Next to genealogy, her passion was working in her yard. That was a stress reliever for her. She was a loving and caring wife, mother, sister, grandmother and friend! She will be missed by all who knew her.
