Vivian Louise Crawford

Vivian Louise Crawford, 77, of Buna, died Tuesday, April 7, 2026. She was born on November 23, 1948, in Hardin County, to Jessie Hobbs and Charlie McGalin.

Vivian was the very definition of a selfless and caring woman. She gave of herself freely, always putting others before her own needs, offering kindness, comfort, and strength to anyone who crossed her path. Her love ran deep—not only for her family and friends, but for everyone she encountered. She was a devout follower of God, and her faith guided her life in the most beautiful way. Through every season, she carried grace, compassion, and an unwavering belief that love, and goodness would always prevail. That faith now carries her home. Vivian leaves behind a legacy of warmth, generosity, and quiet strength that will continue to live on in all of us. She touched more lives than words can fully express, and her memory will forever be a blessing.

Vivian was baptized on March 24, 1969, by Brother C.M. Duplissey. On June 3, 1969, at a tent revival in Rose City, under Brother Joe Duke, Vivian received a gift of the Holy Ghost. These were some of the best days of her life.
