Mary Ella Crawford Marrs passed away Monday September 30th 2024.
She was 88 years old. Mary was born in Lamar, Oklahoma on May 8th, 1936. She was raised on a farm in Lamar by her parents along with eight siblings.

Mary graduated from Moss, Oklahoma high school in 1954. Not long after graduation she joined the Navy and played fast pitch softball for the U.S. Marine Corps for two years.

She spent 25 happy years there with her partner Jenny and a wonderful group of friends. She always remained close with her siblings, nieces and nephews. She didn't like being the last surviving Crawford sibling but would say, 'well the good die young! and laugh. She was a loving mother, grandmother, friend and Aunt Mary. She will be missed. May she rest in peace.
