Frances Siddoway Crawley, 84, a life-long resident of Teton City, died Friday, March 25.
Frances was born September 11, 1926, in Teton City, the daughter of Francis Siddoway and Ada Belle Walker Siddoway. She attended school in Teton City and graduated from Madison High School.
Frances married Jack Crawley as soon as he returned from the European theater of World War II. They began their married life as farmers with no machinery, a horse and shovel, and lots of faith and hope. They enjoyed dancing and bowling, and Frances bowled in a women's league as well as a mixed league, traveling throughout the state to tournaments. They faithfully attended annual reunions of Jack's army Night Reconnaissance Squadron until Jack's death and since then Bob escorted his mother to the reunions so Frances could visit with their long-time friends.
Frances is survived by a son, Robert "Bob" Siddoway Crawley (Holly) of Idaho Falls, ID; a daughter, Jacqueline "Jackie" Crawley Klamt (Robert "Bob") of Sanra Rosa, CA; and two granddaughters, Katie Crawley and Adrienne Klamt, who were the apple of her eye. Anyone visiting Frances in her home were always shown the latest pictures of her girls and regaled with their latest accomplishments. She is also survived by her brother Boyd Siddoway (Carolyn) of Star Valley, WY. She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband Jack and sister Joyce Simmons.
