of Humnoke, AR
October 5, 1947 - September 24, 2016
Joan E. Crawford, of Humnoke, Lonoke County, went to her heavenly home early Saturday, September 24,2016. She was with her family, who cherished her dearly. She was born on October 5th, 1947, in Humnoke, to Warner and Geritha ''Dink'' Looney.
Joan spent her entire life in the Humnoke area with the exception of living a short time in Hazen. She retired from Riceland Foods, working in Accounts Receivable.
To say that Joan had a dynamic personality would be a huge understatement. If she was in the room, everyone was aware of it, and you never had to wonder what she was thinking. She could always bring laughter to any conversation. She never did anything halfway.
Joan was preceded in death by her parents and her loving husband, Willie. She is survived by her children: Beverly (Bryan) Oliger and Greg (Becky) Crawford all of Humnoke, six grandchildren whom she loved and adored: Lindy Wilson (Trey) Hearn, Sydney (Alex) Reid, of Carlisle, Maycen Crawford, Natalie Oliger, Greyden and Carson Crawford all of Humnoke; three great grandchildren who brought even more joy to her life: Gabe Wilson and Annabelle Hearn of Carlisle, and Warner Smith of Humnoke.
Joan is also survived by three brothers: Bill (Patsy) Looney of Sherwood, Jesse (Frances) Looney of DeWitt, Gary (Joy) Looney of Bald Knob, and two sisters: Sharon (Gary) Cauley of England and Susan (Harvey) Wiles of Carlisle.
Joan will be missed so very much.

My sympathy is extended to the entire family, and you are in my thoughts and prayers. I have known Joan since way back in the mid sixties when my husband, Larry, pastored at Perry's Chapel Baptist Church. Loved being around her....she was a lot of fun. She always told me that I looked like a Connie and called me by that name even though my name is Donna. I love the Looney family as did my late husband, and am thankful for our long time friendship with all of you.
Beverly,
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your Mom. I remember her as a very caring and loving person. Much love to you and your family during this difficult time.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this difficult time.
So sorry for your loss. My thoughts & Prayers are with you all.
What a joy it was to be around Joan & Willie, wonderful couple....together again....the Family is in our prayers....
You and the family are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. You will have some long days ahead and I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

We were saddened to hear of Joan's passing. Please know that you all are in our prayers.
Due to a prior commitment we are unable to attend either service.
God be with you,

Remembering the fun I had at the Looney house as a child. There was always music and laughter.
Rejoicing that Joan has joined our Heavenly Father. Sad for her family's grief. Praying for all.
