There was a celebration in heaven as Tawana Jean Crawford departed this world on Saturday, January 27, 2024. Tawana was born November 20, 1951, to RB and Betty Davis in Bowie, TX. She lived in Texas until she married her husband Bud, of 28 years. While they made their home in Virginia, she always kept Texas and the Dallas Cowboys in her heart. (win or lose!) Everyone who knew Tawana knew that she put others before herself and God above all. With her contagious laugh and gift of gab, she never met a stranger. God gifted her with musical talent of singing and playing the piano. She served the Lord playing at Grace Baptist Church since the church began.
Tawana was preceded in death by her father, mother and brother, Ricky Davis. She is survived by her husband, Bud; children, Nicole Cocklin, Crystal Roberts, Jackie Sessions (Patrick), and Mark Crawford (Denise); sister, Sherri Lamar (Kenny); seven grandchildren, Nicholas, Kennedy, Tyson, J.W., Jasper, Jackson, and Mackenzie; brother and sister-in-law, Jim and Donna Crawford; and her beloved fur baby, Stella.
Funeral Services were held 2 p.m. Friday, February 2, 2024, at Grace Baptist Church with Pastor Matt Wilkins officiating. Interment will follow at Crossroads Church Cemetery. The family received friends 1-2 p.m. before the service. Arrangements by Paitsel Funeral Home. http://www.paitselfh.com
