Louise Crowden

Louise Crowden, a beloved mother, grandmother, and friend, went to be with her Lord and Savior on November 7, 2003. She passed peacefully at the age of 80 in San Antonio, Texas where she had lived for only a few months.

Born in Holly, Colorado on May 3, 1923, Louise spent her life sharing her many spiritual gifts with others. She will always be remembered for her devotion to family as well as the Fair Oaks Presbyterian Church where she has been a member since 1958.

She was preceded in death by her mother, Maude Lucille Jagow of Missouri; and her brother, John Reynolds Jagow of Arizona.

She is survived by her three children, Sharon Louise Metz and her husband, Randy of San Antonio, Texas; Mitchell Bruce Crowden and his wife, Colleen of Lincoln, California; and Janet Elizabeth Prentice of Phoenix, Arizona; her four grandchildren, Jonathan and Jacob Metz of San Antonio, Texas, Misty Prentice of Grass Valley, California; and Tristan Adams of Phoenix, Arizona; her brothers, Roger Jagow and his wife, Martha of Linn Valley, Kansas, and Bruce Jagow of Sunnyvale, California. She is also survived by many nieces and nephews.

Her family will miss her and forever carry her memory in their hearts.

Louise's family would like to thank the Vitas Hospice in San Antonio, Texas for their care and support prior to her passing.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Missions Fund of the Fair Oaks Presbyterian Church, 11427 Fair Oaks Blvd, Fair Oaks, CA 95628.

Each of us must one day leave the flock to seek our own way home. It is through faith that we journey over that invisible horizon, leaving behind a peace of mind that we are secure in God's care.
