CRAWLEY (Lane), Gwendolyn Anne Katherine Helen 72. It is with tremendous sadness we announce our beloved mother passed away peacefully in the Halifax Infirmary, QEII on Saturday, September 4, 2010. Mom leaves behind her devoted children, Ronald Jr. (Wanda), Middle Sackville; Marlene Robichaud (Robert), Timberlea; Denise Bucciarelli (Nino), Tantallon; Richard (Margie), Truro; her cherished grandchildren, Erin, Andre, Matt, Carlina, Marissa, Abbey, Matthew, Justin and Lindsay; her treasured siblings, Tom White (Leila), Walter, Robert (Marlene), Donna Anctil (Bob), Derek (Heather), David (Sharon), Diane Hardy (Ed) and Patricia Roy (Peter); many nieces, nephews, in-laws and friends. Mom was a loving and generous woman who worked tirelessly our entire lives alongside our dear Dad to provide for us. Her greatest joy in life was her family, her garden, her guitar, her church and her adored little car that provided her the freedom in her later years to enjoy all of these things. Mom was an active member of the St. Marguerite Bourgeoys' Catholic Women's League and was very proud to be able to contribute to their many causes. Mom fought a long and painful illness with tremendous courage, strength and dignity. Her love and devotion to her family and faith was an inspiration to all who knew her and she will be dearly missed. Mom was predeceased by our Dad, her husband of nearly 50 years, Ronald G. Crawley Sr.; five-year-old daughter, Debbie; parents, Walter and Dorothy Lane; many in-laws, nieces and nephews. Sincere thanks to the nurses of 7.2 Infirmary for the kind and considerate care you bestowed upon our mother, and deep heartfelt gratitude to the many family and friends who visited, wrote and phoned these last eight months helping us to ensure Mom was seldom alone during her long ordeal.
