Constance Cannon Crawford passed away peacefully on Monday, August 9 with family present at Paramount Senior Living in Fayetteville. Born on October 11, during the last century, she was the daughter of the late Edward and Lillian Cannon of Wilmington, Delaware, and wife of the late James E Crawford Jr. She was also preceded in death by her brother Richard Edward Cannon and her sister Beverly Cannon Swanson.
She is survived by her son David Styer (Pittsburg, PA) and daughter Kathryn (Park) Bierbower (Shippensburg, PA), five grandchildren, 4 great-grandchildren, 4 nieces and families.
Connie was previously a resident of Shippensburg, Middletown, Carlisle, New Franklin, Fayetteville, Altoona (all in PA)and Wilmington (DE). Connie was a cosmopolitan woman, kind, fun, academically gifted, articulate and service oriented with fellowship and leadership skills. She graduated from Mount Pleasant High School. She had degrees from Goldey-Beacom College, Harrisburg Area Community College and Penn State University. She earned her last degree, Bachelor of Humanities, when she was in her 60's, graduating with Distinct Honors and was accepted into the Phi Theta Kappa International Honor Society. A voracious reader and lifelong lover of learning and sharing knowledge, she received 6 college degrees over the span of 45 years. A true wordsmith, she was a published and award-winning poet, a purveyor of stories searching for truth and humor. Never one to let a homeless dog or cat (or human) go without shelter or food, she let many into her home in their time of need. Through her many passions, interests and volunteering, she truly made a difference in the lives of many people. We miss her very much.
