CRAWFORD -- Patricia A. Crawford, a resident of Albuquerque, died Thursday, January 15, 2004. She was the wife of John, and mother of Molly, Fred and Bill. Too young to be a grandmother...age unknown! Well-known gallery owner who always worked to provide for the American needs in supplies, and to display fine works. Formerly a professional dancer - the first live performer to be seen in St. John's Newfoundland. A pretty darn good copywriter for the CBS Affiliate in Savannah, Georgia. Also wrote and starred in the infamous radio soap opera "How Green are the Collards." A writer whose numerous early works appeared in print with no byline by friends who "borrowed" articles and short stories "for just a little while." Patricia Crawford was the "Founder and Beloved President" of the SINS, a humorous non-existant group who had a real following in Grand Forks, ND, and was responsible for the largest most favorable turnout in the history of that area, for schooling issues. Founder and one half the team of The Cyranoses, a group formed at the demand of a casino in Reno, who ran around their business wearing over 100 rubber noses. The man who hired them never saw them in the flesh and could not recognize them if he did. She wanted a coffin where you'd be able to pull a string, and recorded funny lines would be heard AGAIN. Nobody she knew would have any part of this idea! If Pat Crawford had one wish, it would have been to still be alive. Services will be held Friday, January 23, 2004, 2:00 p.m. at Santa Fe National Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Presbyterian Hospice Homecare, P.O. Box 26666, Albuquerque, NM 87125. French Mortuary 10500 Lomas Blvd. NE 275-3500
