Sally Crawford

Sally June Rogers was born on November 15, 1937, in Cadillac, Michigan, to Mary and Ralph Rogers. She was the 4th of 7 children. When she was 8 years old her mom and dad and two brothers and one sister moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico. Her older brother and two sisters remained in Michigan. The move was because the cold winters were making her dad very sick and doctors advised him to move to a warmer climate. In 1966, Sally followed her parents, who had moved to California.
Sally met Harold on a blind date in February, 1967. They married on May 12, 1967. Sally was working at Sears in the auditing department until just before their daughter, Janelle Marie was born in April of 1969. Two more children, Marla Jean (October 1973) and John Allen (August 1976) followed. Sally was a wife and mother from then on.
Sally is survived by her husband, Harold, and three children, Janelle (Derek) Hickman, Marla (John) Love, and John (JoAnna) Crawford. She leaves 18 grandchildren and 1 great grandchild. Sally is also survived by two brothers, Clayton(Nola) Rogers and David (Grace) Rogers, as well as her brother in law, Roger Crawford, and sister in law, Alice Tucker.
Sally was well known as a caregiver for family and friends and eventually, for 18 grandchildren and 1 great grandchild. This was perhaps her greatest strength.
Sally and Harold have lived in the Fontana area their entire marriage. While Sally was at home, Harold was working at the family pharmacy, Crawford Drug Store.
Sally was involved in many activities. She was a 50-year member of Fontana Community Church, Order of Eastern Star and the “Y Wives” of the YMCA. She was an outgoing person and a friend to everyone she met. If she saw someone who needed some type of assistance she was right there to help.
Sally passed from this life on August 22, 2023. She will be sorely missed by everyone who knew her, especially her family.
Sally's final wishes would be: GO IN PEACE AND LOVE ONE ANOTHER.
