Obituary of Terri Lynn Bowers-Crawford

Terri Lynn Bowers-Crawford passed away December 11, 2023. Terri was a fierce and independent force to be reckoned with, who had a generous and caring heart and an infectious laugh that filled the room and put smiles on everyone’s face. Terri’s heart knew no bounds, it didn’t matter if you were family or a complete stranger, she would find a way to help anyone who needed it, always going the extra mile and never judging anyone. She believed everyone was worthy of being treated with love and respect. Terri adored her sons and daughter, and cherished her grandchildren. She loved her family, her friends, and her small dog, Punkin, who allowed her and her husband Chip to share the bedroom with her. Punkin slept in Terri’s lap under the blankets every night, was extremely protective over Terri, and has been confused and heartbroken since.

Terri is survived by her husband Gordon (Chip) Crawford, her children Christopher Shane, Cory Matthew, Dylan Michael Kenneth, and Megan Nicole (White); her son-in-law Paul Clifford White; her daughter-in-law Justine Lynelle (Mustacchia) Crawford; her grandchildren from Megan: Jude Benton James, Beckham Grey Matthew, Vivienne Jade Nicole; and her grandchildren from Christopher: Christopher Keyton Lee, Oliver Benton, Peter Jachery Sterling, Lilith Saylor Winona; and her brother, Joseph Bowers. She is preceded in death by her mother Cathy Bowers Miranda, father James Dawson, and brother Shane Bowers.

Terri was both the calm and the chaos. Our lives are forever changed and our hearts are shattered in the wake of her unexpected passing.
