Eva C. Crawford

Eva Cora Crawford, age 92, passed into the arms of Jesus on Sunday, September 15th, 2024.  At that time, she was at Cedar Haven Healthcare Center, in Lebanon, PA, with the comfort of Hospice For All Seasons. 

Formerly of Red Lion, PA, Eva was born September 5th, 1932, in Hellam, PA, to Raymond and Elvier (Kohler) Leiphart. She is survived by her daughter and her step-son, along with their families, and her sister, Norma Doll. Eva was preceded in death by her first husband, J. Robert Blymire, and her second husband, Arthur Crawford. She was also predeceased by her siblings: Raymond Leiphart, Jr.; Anna Mae Sechrist; Dorothy Witmer; and Donald Leiphart. 

An accomplished seamstress and an excellent cook, Eva was an effective prayer warrior during her adult life. As illness and dementia restricted her activities in the last 6 years of her life, Eva stayed consistently happy and a joy to be around. Laughter was an excellent antidote for her many daily challenges. She loved to read aloud, sing, and eat dessert ... especially Hershey's Kisses. 

She will be buried next to Robert, at Springville Cemetery on Riverview Drive in Wrightsville, PA.  A graveside gathering to celebrate Eva's life will take place at 1:00pm on Thursday, September 19th, 2024.
