Our beautiful Christmas Angel, Lizzie Crowder Wilson, was born December 25, 1935 to the late Louise Crockett and James Crowder in Lancaster SC. Sadly she departed this life on January 1, 2020 after an extended illness.

Moving to Forsyth County, NC at an early age, Lizzie attended the public schools. She later worked housekeeping jobs and at the local tobacco company. Lizzie loved her family and her most important job became lovingly raising generations of children. She also knew her way around a sewing machine and was the best cook ever! Lizzie was an avid fisherwoman! She loved the sport!

Lizzie was of the Apostolic Faith. For years she served under the leadership of Bishop Johnny Draft of Apostolic Church of Christ until her health started declining. Lizzie was such a sweet beautiful person and she will be so truly missed.

Preceding her in death was her husband of 51 years, Lonnie Wilson.

Those who are left to cherish her beautiful memories are her six children, Shakoya Hatcher of Greensboro, NC, Shareal Crockett, Darnell Wilson, Melissa Crockett, Monica Crockett, and Nathaniel Crockett all of the city; a host of grandkids; a devoted niece, Janice Crockett of the city;  two sisters, Janie Mae Murray and Louise Wright both of the city; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.

Funeral services will be held at 12noon Thursday, January 9, 2020 at New Light Missionary Baptist Church with Reverend Samuel PL Hickerson officiating.  Interment will follow in Oaklawn Memorial Gardens. The family visitation will be held from 11:30am until 12noon on Thursday at the Church.
