Graveside services were held at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 30, 2021, in Woodlawn Memorial Park for Mrs. Ruth Ann Crawford, 85, of Grenada, who died on Thursday,
Jan. 28, in Grenada.
Ruth Ann was born on Jan. 30, 1935, in Webster County. She retired after working many years as the office manager at Commercial Credit. She was a devoted member of First United Methodist Church Grenada where she served in the nursery for more than 50 years, the choir for more than 30 years, the United Methodist Women and was a circle leader.
