Judy Ann Crowley, age 72, of Roaring Springs, Texas, went home to be with the Lord on Monday, October 22, 2018. She was born on the 13th of February, 1946, in Merced, California, to father, Lloyd R. Lynch, and mother Jewell B. Lynch-Sullivan.
Judy Crowley loved the Lord and spent her days serving her Savior in every way. One of her greatest gifts of serving was loving and teaching children, whether her own or others. She loved spreading the gospel light through the hearts of children at her preschool, the Mother’s Helper Christian Preschool, serving those in this community and others around her. She always selflessly served whoever was in need both with her time and her love.
Judy is preceded in death by her father, Lloyd R. Lynch, and her brothers Lloyd Robin Lynch and Sydney Lynch.

Lynch-Sullivan; siblings Linda and husband Buddy Wilcox, Ronald Lynch and wife Jenny, and Daryl Lynch all of Arkansas; children Ann and husband Bradley Buxton of Edmond, Oklahoma, Michael Crowley Jr. and wife Rut of Midland, Texas, Denise and husband Gary Ford of Roaring Springs, Texas; grandchildren Bryan Buxton and wife Janey, Brenna and husband Ryan Shanks, Brielle Buxton, Brooklynn Buxton, Brailee Buxton, and Brandi Buxton all of Oklahoma, Andrea and husband Laredo Shannon, Byron Crowley and wife Jazmyn, Meagan Ford and Mikenna Ford all of Texas.

The congregation is excited to be among those helping to support Jimitri during his time at the Sunset International Bible Institute in Lubbock, Texas.
