Wanda Corinne Crawford Shanda Our precious Corinne danced into heaven February 18th from her home in Angier, NC at the age of 86. Awaiting her was the love of her life Jim, darling daughter Ginny, son Mike, beloved sisters Joy, Judy, Betty, dear brothers Jack, Tom, and Junior, her adored parents Laura and Leonard along with a host of many relatives. Corinne had a life filled with love and family. Joy flowed from heart as she cared, helped, and shared her life with the less fortunate. Marrying Jim, becoming “my bride” as he lovingly called her, brought them much deserved happiness as they traveled, moved, baked, helped, and loved life. Making her home in California for a while, earned them a chance at owning a restaurant. Working together side by side with her family was one of her fondest memories. Corinne spent her final years loved and cared for by her treasured son Steve, his wife Tracy, and great grandson Josh (now serving in the military in Germany) in Angier, NC. She is also survived by grandsons Chris (Jessica), Greg (Kirsten), and Bill (Sylvia); 10 great grandchildren; sister Mary (Jenny), brother Allen (Barbara), sister in law Helen; nephew David (Ladonna), along with many nieces and nephews who loved Aunt Keene dearly. Corinne was born April 19, 1934, raised, attended school at Lamar (but graduated from Moss), so it’s only fitting that she return “home” for her final resting place surrounded by family at Lamar Cemetery. Internment pending.
