Joleine Cathrine Crowe
ODESSA — “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.” John 14: 1-3
Joleine Cathrine Crowe went home to be with our Lord and Savior on Monday, Sept. 24, 2001, at 4:15 p.m. Loving wife, Momma and Nana, her husband, two daughters and son-in-law at her side, she left this world peacefully. Joleine was with us just a short 40 years, but left us memories that her family and friends will never forget.
Joleine will be dearly missed, a truly wonderful person. Always thinking and caring about others before herself. Finding out she had cancer a mere six months ago, she fought the illness and pain bravely to the end. Joleine, J.C., as she was known to some, constantly told all that she was going to be all right, that she was going to be healed. She told the truth. She is all right. She was given the most precious healing, to be with our Lord, where there are no worries, no pain, no sickness, to live in heaven for eternity.
Joleine loved many things, first and foremost, God, then her family. She was especially proud of her two daughters and two grandsons, always giving up things for herself to give to them. Joleine also loved her work. She was a classroom monitor at Sherwood Christian Academy and considered herself a teacher. During her illness, she was always saying she missed her “kids” at school, that she needed to get back to work. She worried that she needed to be there to help do God’s work.
Joleine loved her home, simple, but what she wanted, spending hundreds of hours designing and then remodeling her kitchen and living room. She was always adding that personal touch to everything.
Joleine was a member of the Goldsmith Volunteer Fire Department, where she served as a firefighter, EMT and ECA, again, helping others.
Joleine leaves behind not only her memories, but also part of her lives on in her daughters and grandbabies. Daughters, Cheri’ Jones and Melissa Crowe of Goldsmith; grandsons, Tyler Daniel and Matthew Braden; husband, Lynn, with “strict orders” from her to take care of her family; and loving son-in-law, Gabriel, whom she said, Cheri could have found no better.
She wanted to thank everyone, her family and many, many friends and neighbors for being there during all of this, offering help, food and prayers. When she knew it was time to go home, she told us she would go to prepare a place for all of us, telling us she would see us again. Knowing Joleine, she is probably redesigning our eternal home now.
Joleine, your husband, daughters, grandbabies, son-in-law, family and friends will dearly miss you. We love you and know that you are truly “OK” and “all right” now. Love you, “baby, ” and we’ll see you soon.
