Nancy Ann Crabtree
November 13, 1933 - March 4, 2017
Nancy Ann Crabtree was born the daughter of Benjamin and Della Popejoy on November 13, 1933 in Knoxville, Tennessee. She spent her childhood in Knoxville and after graduating high school she went on to attend the University of Tennessee. From 1955 to 1957 Nancy was a commercial airline stewardess. This was no small feat at a time where gaining a mere extra pound of weight could cost a stewardess her job. In 1957 she married Jack Crabtree in Nashville and the two soon moved to Newberg. Nancy enjoyed spending time with family, traveling and was active in many bridge clubs. On Saturday, March 4, 2017 Nancy passed away from complications following a short illness. She was 83. She is preceded in death by her husband, Jack Manion Crabtree; brother, Billy and Sister Betty Jane. Surviving and left to honor her life are her daughter Caroline Crabtree-Osborne; son in-law Robert Osborne and her many nieces and nephews along the east coast. A graveside service will be held Friday, March 10 at 11:00 a.m. at Evergreen Memorial Park in McMinnville. Services entrusted to Attrell’s Funeral Chapels, Newberg. Memorial contributions can be made to Newberg Animal Animal Shelter Friends by calling 503-554-9285 or newberganimals.com.
