Vanessa Crowe

I still miss going to visit Vanessa at the nursing home every Thursday afternoon. COVID canceled our visits but we could still talk by phone. I think of her everyday and send up a prayer for her and her family.

I still miss my dear friend and think of her every day. So many good memories to hold on to.

I think of Vanessa everyday and miss our Thursday visits. She and her family are in my daily prayers.

My deepest sympathy to all of Vanessa’s family. She leaves behind a family who loved her warm, kind and vivacious spirit. The Crowes were one of the first families I met as a new teacher @ West Puyallup Jr High. Ron (Sr) helped me open my first checking account @ Citizen State Bank. Ron and Vanessa were kind and welcoming at the Puyallup First Presbyterian Church. Years later
Vanessa and I shared such fun memories of Mom’s Weekend at WSU with our Pi Phi daughters - Hillary and Heidi....

Ron, so sorry to hear about Vanessa she was a great Lady.

Praying for the family. Hillary I truly hope your faith in Jesus Christ carries you on the days to come. I wish you peace for the days to come.

She started our Book Club that combined a diverse group of women that filled the room with laughter and occasionally discussed books.

We travelled together and celebrated November birthdays. She started a Dinner Group with the most indelible memory being a fondue pot exploding in their dining room, no injuries but the wallpaper was never the same.

Vanessa adored her children and grandchildren and happily shared...

I was a member of "Birthday Club" & our group has met for over 50 years. We shared many delicious dinners in our younger years but when cataracts developed we switched to luncheons. And spent many an afternoon at the restaurants along Tacoma's waterfront. We always joked that one day we'd have to switch to breakfast. What I remember most from those meals is that Vanessa was so funny. She would tell us about the latest escapades of her family and we would be wiping our eyes from tears of...
