Graveside Services for Perry Joy Crews, 94, of Arlington, Texas, formerly of Bridgeport, will be held at 11 a.m. Wednesday, September 30, 2026, at Alvord Cemetery in Alvord, Texas.<\/p>\n
Perry passed away on September 23, 2026, in Fort Worth, Texas. She was born May 17, 1932, in Plainview, Texas, to the late Dave and Lessie Everett. After graduating from Plainview High School in 1950, she earned an education degree from North Texas State College in 1954. The following year, she married Clyde Crews in Alvord, Texas. They raised their family there before moving to Bridgeport. Perry later enjoyed a rewarding career as an elementary and special education teacher, primarily in the Bridgeport school district.<\/p>\n
Known for her remarkable kindness toward people and animals alike, Perry was devoted to her church and loved quilting with the Wise County Quilt Guild, cheering on her beloved Dallas Cowboys, and spending time with her loved ones.<\/p>\n
She was preceded in death by her parents, Dave and Lessie Everett; her husband, Clyde Crews; her sister, Ella Mae Jones; and her son-in-law, Marshall Ingram.<\/p>\n
Perry is survived by her daughters, Mary Beth Ingram and Rosie Crews, both of Arlington, Texas; her grandson, Trey Ingram, and his wife, Lydia, of Arlington, Texas, and her three great-grandchildren, Zeke, Ezra, and Emmy Ingram, who brought her so much joy. She dearly loved her nieces and nephews, including Michael Crews and wife Linda of Grove City, Ohio; Marjorie Telerski and husband Bob of Columbus, Ohio; David Jones and wife Britt of Abilene, Texas; Kay Merkling and husband John of Lakewood, Colorado; Beth Jones of Abilene, Texas; and Linda Jones of Midland, Texas.<\/p>\n
In keeping with her lifelong devotion to rescuing four-legged friends, the family asks that memorial donations be made to an animal rescue or shelter of your choice.<\/p>\n
