The family would like to give a special thank you to Oak Woods, Premier Hospice, all the aids and staff at Oak Woods, and her favorite nurse, Joey McLarrin, for always going the extra mile for her to make her comfortable.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in memory of Mrs. Crymes to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
