It is with great sadness that we announce that Corinne Lillian Crawford of Moosomin, Saskatchewan, passed away with family at her bedside at Hospice of Glengarda in Saskatoon, on Thursday, July 18, 2024, at the age of 90.
Corinne was born in 1933 to Forbes and Lillian Grant on their farm in Mawer, Saskatchewan. She was the youngest and only girl of five children.
Corinne leaves behind her children: Linda (Brad) Lund, Jim (Lois), Cheryl (Vern) Windrim, Glen (Damaris), Grant (Trina), eleven grandchildren and four great-grandsons.
Corinne was predeceased by her husband of 65 years, Lawrence James Crawford, who passed away on May 28, 2024.
Corinne grew up riding horseback and played softball as a back catcher at Mawer. She attended boarding school in Regina from Grade 10 onward and continued to play softball, along with other sports, including basketball.
Corinne joined the Royal Canadian Navy Reserve in March of 1954 and went on to work at the provincial lab in Regina.
Corinne met Lawrence through curling and they were married on September 27, 1958. They took over the Crawford family farm where she farmed alongside Lawrence.
Corinne was an avid and competitive curler, active member of Bethel United Church, elected board member of Moosomin School Division, school bus driver, and active in many other ways in the community.
A joint celebration of life for both Corinne and Lawrence will be held at Bethel United Church in Moosomin on Monday, July 29, 2024, at 10 am. A luncheon following the service will be held at the Legion.
In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Corinne Crawford may be made to the Moosomin Hospital SEICC, the Canadian Cancer Society, or to a charity of your choice.
