Crowell, Sadie- age 93, passed away peacefully at home on May 13, 2016. She was born in Brazil Lake on June 3, 1922, to the late Leland and Edna Annis.

She remained in the family home where she and Earle raised their children, caring for herself and the family home until her passing. She is survived by sons, Larry (Florence), William (Lida), Reigh (Leona), Gordon (Mary), Mike (Sharon) and Tim (Nancy) and daughters Donna (Basil), and Laura Lee (Gary), and sister Muriel Deveau.
