Mrs. Cropp died Tuesday, Dec. 7, 2010, at her daughter's home in Murrieta, California.

She was born in Burleson, Texas, on November 4, 1924, to Gaynell and John Cleveland Crawford, and she grew up in Fort Worth, Texas, where she graduated from Polytechnic High School and, on March 21, 1942, married Rev. William Carlyle Cropp, Jr. They raised four children: Linda, Susan, Gary, and Larry. In 1962, they moved to Lawton to continue their ministry by starting a church, Southside Assembly of God, where Rev. Cropp served as pastor and she served as a Sunday School teacher for over thirty years. Shortly after moving to Lawton, she worked for S. H. Kress & Co. A few years later, she began working at Meadors, where she sold women's and children's clothing and made life-long friends with co-workers who she always looked forward to seeing at their weekly breakfasts after her retirement in 1994. She crocheted blankets in her free time, always had a kind word, and cared for her family with a tireless devotion.
