Margaret Crawford Obituary
Margaret "Peggy" Ann (Scully) Crawford, a resident of Mulberry, Indiana, passed away on June 17, 2021, surrounded by her immediate family. Peggy was born in Columbia, S.C., on July 15, 1955, to John Carroll and Barbara Ann (Fougere) Scully. She was married to her husband of 46 years, Michael Lee Crawford, and had three daughters, Megan (Bickel), Elizabeth (Dow), and Ellen (Cooke), and three grandsons, William, Henry, and John Bickel.
Peggy had a BA from Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College, an MA from IUPUI, and an MA from Loyola University New Orleans. She dedicated most of her career to religious education and worked for various Catholic parishes, the Archdiocese of Indianapolis, and Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory School, where she was a teacher and Campus Minister for 17 years.
Peggy was known for her strong faith, bright smile, and optimistic outlook on life. She enjoyed reading, completing crossword puzzles, and spending time with her family and friends.
She is survived by her mother; husband; three daughters; three sons-in-law: Luke Bickel, Jonathan Dow, and Richard Cooke; three grandsons; siblings: Kathleen Scully-Hayes (James D.), sister-in-law Michele Scully, James Scully (Claire), Patricia Gleason (Garrett), Maryellen O'Malley (Joseph), and Susan Scully-Rose (Thomas); as well as many beloved nieces and nephews.

I wish to offer sympathy to Mike and all the family. I knew Peggy when we were both active in ministry with the Archdiocese of Indianapolis. Peggy followed me in the job that I had had for ten years at the Office of Catholic Education. Her presence was always a gift--her ever-ready smile and gentle way of being brought joy and calm to those around her. I wish to offer special sympathy to her mother, Barbara. It's always difficult for a parent to have to bury a child, no matter what the age. And, a special greeting of sympathy to Peggy's youngest sibling, Susan, whom I taught in first grade at St. Pius X School in Indianapolis. I want you all to know that I am holding you close in prayer these days. May you feel the comfort of Our Lord Jesus Christ who reaches out and touches you through friends and those who care.

Please accept my condolences at Peggy's passing. I was friends with she and Mike in high school. I knew right from the start that they would be married forever. She was such a kind, generous person with a big heart. God bless you Mike and your family.
