Evelyn Crawford Obituary

Evelyn Louise Crawford Passed away quietly at Marin General Hospital on November 21, 2006 at the age of 85. Born in San Francisco to the late Maurice and Sarah Salomon, Evelyn is sister of the late Maurice (Lillian) Salomon; wife of the late Syd Rosener and late Tommy Crawford; mother of Maurice "Topper" (Bridget) Rosener, Sydney Rosener and Sarah (Bill) Dougherty; grandmother of Scott (Ruby) Rosener, Chris (Tina) Rosener, Sean Dougherty, Colin Dougherty and Emily Angeleri; great-grandmother of Hannah, Nathan and Lily Rosener. Evelyn was educated at Convent of the Sacred Heart and Dominican College. She was a voracious reader who enjoyed playing bridge, doing the daily puzzle, watching (and answering the questions on) Jeopardy and traveling the world with her brother Maurice and his golf club members. She was mentally sharp and loved a great argument. Her opinions were strong and she let them be known by all who were around her. There was never a dull moment when Evie was around. She gave her family and caregivers a run for their money. Evelyn resided at Pine Ridge Care Center for the last years of her life. She is finally at peace. Private graveside services will be held at Cypress Lawn in Colma, CA. KEATON'S REDWOOD CHAPEL (415) 897-1151

As a littl girl I remember being at Auntie Evelyn's house often. She was always very warm and sweet to me. It was fun seeing her with my dad who loved her very much, and also enjoyed their inevitable arguments. I can hear her throaty laugh and see her beautiful face. I'm so sorry Topper, Sydney and Sarah that you've lost your mom. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to all of you.

Sorry to hear of Evelyn's passing. Wonderful obituary - very true - she was a tough old cookie. We had some great times together over the years.
Warm hugs to Topper, Sarah, Sydney and the rest of the family. Love, Lil
