Mildred “Gail” Crawley, born on December 4, 1949, was a beloved daughter, sister, aunt and friend. Gail left her earthly home and was received with open arms by her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on, Thursday, November 2, 2023.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by nine siblings: Jackson, Ray, Wayne, Doris, Nina, Opealee, Vergie, Loretta, and one infant brother.
Survivors include her three sisters: Reba, Landis and Kathryn, and a number of nieces and nephews.

Gail was such a precious lady with that contagious smile. She will definitely be missed. Praying for all her family and especially my cousins Larry, Keith, and Greg all of whom were her nephews. 🙏♥️
I loved working with Ms Sassy Pants. I miss her terribly. Sending my prayers and thoughts for her family. 🙏
Love Hope
Loved Gail Rejoicing with Jesus.
My heart is broken. Miss Flossie, as I knew as her nickname, was such a precious soul. I used to work at Burgess and then later at Caldwell Opportunities. To me, she was a living legend living, outliving most anyone with Down Syndrome. I know she will be missed by all that loved her. Prayers for her family, Burggess family and COI friends.
I can remember going by Aunt Flossie’s and playing with Gail at the old home place after Uncle Ernest
passed away. Although the miles separated us all these years, we never forget the love that we shared.
