Phyllis May (Waggoner) Craddock

July 10, 1923 - March 22, 2005

Phyllis May Craddock joined our Lord March 22, 2005, after a brief illness with her two sons at her side.

Phyllis was born in Clarks, Nebraska, to Earl Irving Waggoner and Rosa Anne Johnston, the fourth of six children and the last to be called to be with her Lord.

She and her family moved to Humboldt when she was 12 years old. They settled in Rohnerville where she attended grammar school and graduated from Fortuna High. Phyllis worked for a time as a waitress at the old Goody Café in Fortuna where she met and married her husband of 37 years. She resided in Scotia with her family for many years and worked at various positions for Bertains Laundry, as a company phone operator for PALCO’s main office, and as a lumber handler/machine operator for Fortuna’s Wood Furniture Company.

Phyllis’ husband Chester C. Craddock, Jr. of Scotia preceded her in death in 1984.

She is survived by her two loving sons, Robert B. Craddock (Sheriff Bob) of Rio Dell, and Chester D. Craddock, Sr. of Fortuna. She leaves six grandchildren, Shawnee Sauers of Rio Dell, Chace Craddock of Baltimore, MD, Darci Craddock of Rio Dell, Dewey Craddock, Jr., of Riverside, Jennifer Craddock Masters of Riverside, and Robert W. Craddock of San Diego. She also leaves ten great grandchildren whom she loved adoringly.

There will be no services at Phyllis’s request.

Donations can be made to the American Heart and Lung Associations in her name.

Arrangements are under the direction of Goble’s Fortuna Mortuary.
