Olivia Crawford Obituary

Olivia Crawford made her transition into spirit, Friday, Sept. l7, 2010, in the quiet of her home with Nancy Whisenhunt in Slidell, La. Olivia, an ordained minister in the Universal Church of the Master, began her ministry in her early 20s as her spiritual counseling, healing and medical intuitive gifts were sought throughout the West Coast. Her commitment to the reunion of spirit in human awareness led to pioneering work with Scripps Institute, La Jolla Pain Clinic, Meadowlark Healing Center and Eselan Institute. As founder and President of GROWTH, U.C.M., an organization dedicated to spiritual development at all levels of consciousness, she presented an intensive program of personal and group counseling, intensive workshops and inspirational retreats. She was well-known for her accuracy as an intuitive, and was recognized among many health professionals for her diagnostic skills and metaphysical therapy. As a spiritual way shower, Olivia touched many people with her life changing guidance. Her physical presence will be deeply missed. Her spirit lives on. Olivia is survived by her sister, Rosella Bathurst of Scotts Valley, Calif.; daughter, Tamara Skinner of Visalia, Calif.; and many friends across the universe. She was preceded in death by her daughter, Holly; and granddaughter, Andrea Star. A memorial service will be held Saturday, March 5, 2011, at Carmel Spirituality Center in Lacombe, La. Call (985) 643-2670 for details. Please visit www.honakerforestlawn.com to sign guestbook. Honaker Funeral Home (985) 641-1900 Slidell, La.

When Olivia and I met 42 years ago, she was my husbands ex- wife. In the most difficult of social situations, Olivia became my true friend. We raised children together and together we endured the loss of Hollie Ann , and Andrea. In all relationships she helped me make the decisions that were most authentic to myself. That is a very rare gift. We are family and I beleive those bonds are eternal. I honor the time and spcae we shared, and I look forward to seeing her in another time and place. In the meantime this place will miss her so much, and so will this friend.
Sincerely Cary Skinner- Maris

I met Olivia as a teenager and enjoyed talking with her from time to time throughout the years. Her wisdom and intuitive gifts and the way she helped me through difficult times will stay with me all my life, and have meant so much to my spiritual growth. She was the one I trusted when things got rough. I will always remember her beautiful eyes and laughter.

Though I didn't know Olivia well, her gifts to me and to many others I knew were precious and deeply appreciated. I am grateful to have been one of those whose lives she touched so profoundly.
