Ms. Crawford was well-known as the face of Pulaski County having worked at the Division of Family Resources in Winamac for 12 years. In this role, she dedicated her career to helping others in the community. Most recently, she worked as a property manager for Bradley Co. in Culver. Outside of work, she was a dedicated home caregiver for several local families. Her beautiful smile and natural, loving personality made her a perfect fit for these roles. She was a loving mother to her sons. Her life was devoted to giving them all she could. Her selfless devotion was not only to her boys, but extended to her entire circle of family and friends. When she wasn’t busy working or doing things for others, she enjoyed floating the river (with her homemade sunscreen), spending time at the casino (she was a high roller), and being physically active (especially riding bikes, walking, and roller blading). She lived a healthy and naturalistic lifestyle (seriously, coconut oil). This world is a better place because of the footprint Jamie leaves behind. She was a bright light that resonated love and kindness on us all.

Visitation will be from 2 to 6 p.m., Sunday, April 30; and from 10 to 11 a.m., Monday, May 1, at Frain Mortuary in Winamac. The funeral service will follow at 11 a.m. (Monday), at the funeral home with Pastor Heath Hiatt officiating. Burial will be at Winamac Cemetery in Winamac.

Memorial donations may be made to the funeral home to assist the family with final expenses.
