Nancy Susan Crabbs, 57, passed away Friday, May 24, 2019 in Diamondhead, Mississippi. She was born September 15, 1961 in Seoul, Korea. Nancy resided in Diamondhead, Mississippi. She was employed with Roy Anderson Corp for over 13 years and was a true friend to all of her co-workers.
Nancy was a respected athlete and challenged herself with 5ks, half-marathons and triathlons and endlessly motivated others to do the same. She participated in the Half-Ironman and the Susan G. Komen 3-day, 60-mile walk. Her competitive nature earned her numerous awards and medals. She loved music and was a long time No Shoes Nation fan! Nancy was adventurous, a lover of white sandy beaches and a true joy and inspiration to all who knew her. She never lost hope and always lived life out loud!
Nancy is survived by her mother, Mary Crabbs; her brothers, David (Eva) Crabbs, Robert Crabbs and Kenneth (Linda) Crabbs; her nieces, Jennifer Frey (Margaret and Jeffrey), and Carolyn Glauda (Mary and Bobby); her nephews, Robert and Michael Crabbs (David and Eva) and Christian Crabbs (Kenneth and Linda).
She is preceded in death by her father, Robert Crabbs; and her sisters, Margaret (Jeffrey) Callaghan, and Mary (Bobby) Glauda.
For their tireless effort and compassion, the family would like to especially thank Dr. Allison Wall and her staff and the nursing and aid staff at Kare-In-Home.
