Betty Ann Meadow Crumley

August 28, 1928 — January 23, 2023

Colbert

Betty Ann Meadow Crumley, 94, of Colbert and Comer, died in the early hours of January 23, 2023.  She was a native and lifelong resident of Madison County.  She was born the fifth child of the late Griff and Maude Lee Smith Meadow at the Meadow-Bruce home place in the Meadow community. She was the widow of John A. Crumley and was preceded in death by siblings Grover, Helen, Mabel, Margaret, and June. She was the last of her immediate family.

For many years, Mrs. Crumley was bookkeeper for the Colbert and Ila Manufacturing Companies.  Mrs. Crumley was an accomplished seamstress, an award-winning crafter of counted cross-stitch paintings, an avid reader, and maker of utilitarian hand sewn quilts. She was also a gardener of flowers, greenery and vegetables. She enjoyed nothing better than having her hands and bare toes in the dirt or being on her mower cutting her lawn.

Mrs. Crumley is survived by two daughters and sons-in-law: Christine and Bobby Brown, and Renee and Freddie Blakey; sisters-in-law Lois Scaffe and Barbara Powell; numerous nieces and nephews, and their children and grandchildren.

We would like to thank all the staff of Comer Health & Rehab and Affinis Hospice for the wonderful care, love and patience they showed our mother and us.  A special thank you to Lacey, Stephanie, Donna, Brittany, Romie and Chaplin Palmer.  We wouldn’t have survived all this without you.

Visitation will take place at Lord and Stephens, Danielsville on Tuesday, January 24, during the hours 1:00-2:30 p.m. Graveside services and interment will follow at 3:00 p.m. in Colbert City Cemetery.

Betty and John were generous with their time, effort and financial contributions to family members, neighbors and strangers in need.  It is requested their generosity and legacy be honored and continued by family and friends.  So in lieu of meals or flowers for the family, please make memorial contributions in their names to St. Jude’s Hospital, Shriners’ Hospital of Atlanta, Children’s Health Care of Atlanta, Keep Athens Warm project, your local food bank and/or clothing shelter, or support a local family in need with young children at Christmas.
