Shirley Jean Crockett, 69, of Salem, went to be with the Lord on Friday, 23, 2017. She was preceded in death by her parents, Oscar and Oma Rock; brothers, Don and Lewis; and sisters, Millie, Mary, Freda, and Barbara.
Left to cherish her memory are children, Becky Surber and husband, Rick, Doug Crockett and wife, Ginny, and Donnie Crockett and wife, Tonya; sister, Linda Mollette; grandchildren, Darren, Aaron, Corey, Amanda, Kayla, Tristian, and Kayli; great-grandchildren, Mia, Karen, Ryleigh, and Lakyn; very special best friend, Ellen; and numerous nieces and nephews.
Shirley always had a special place in her heart for her plants even if it meant having her son, Donnie, watering them for her when she could not. She was a woman that kept a smile on her face and her words sweet. Even against the odds of her illness, she stayed positive and kind-hearted.
A funeral service will be held at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, June 27, 2017 at John M. Oakey & Son Funeral Home, Salem, with a visitation one hour prior. A committal service will be held at Crawford Cemetery at 2 p.m. later that day.
The family would like to extend a special thanks to Brandon Oaks Nursing Homes staff for their continuous compassion.
