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.
