Birth date: Mar 9, 1955 Death date: Mar 9, 2015
Jarita Ann (Greulach) Crawshaw, 60, of Fort Wayne, passed away on Monday, March 9, 2015 at Heritage Park, Fort Wayne after a 20 year battle with multiple sclerosis. Born in Fort Wayne, she was the daughter of the late Paul and Ire Read Obituary
There were times over the years when Jarita was living on Washington Blvd, she invited me over for supper and to talk. Going to miss you so much!!!! We had some special talks while I was in my younger years..........see you again someday I hope!
My two favorite memories of Cousin Jarita ... #1 going for visits & slumber parties when we were younger. Jarita always had a twinkle in her eye, like she just might know some great mischief we could be up to! She was always such a joy to be around. #2 the last time I visited Jarita I took my Bible in and started to read to her. I asked her if she'd like me to keep reading and she said 'oh, yes'! I sang her a couple of hymns and asked her if she loved Jesus too, and she said 'oh yes'! It was very hard to hear and understand Jarita, but she said this very clearly and wholeheartedly. It brings me a great deal of peace, and so much joy to picture Jarita now -singing and dancing before the Lord Jesus - how her eyes must be twinkling!
Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone.
Love
Your Cousin Therese
And Dan
I am very sorry to hear about Jarita's passing. She and I enjoyed a few dates and working with each other at Magnavox. Even though it has been since 1990 that I saw her I remember her smile and kind words. She is a gift to us all.
Dear Janel and Family,
I am so sorry for the loss of your beautiful sister. I know the path she traveled with MS well and celebrate her new healthy, vibrant life too. May you all find comfort in wonderful memories and the love of God holding you in His arms.
Our prayers and peace go your way.
Jarita will ALWAYS be my good friend. We met in 1979 when I came to work at Magnavox. What I remember most about her was her strong sense of independence, her love for her parents, and her strength and courage in the face of an incredible illness. I will remember her smile, that she served at our wedding, and how much she enjoyed simple things like Waldorf Salad “with grapes – not raisins, Carol!”
