Susie C. Haddaway

Susie Crow Haddaway of Oxford, MD died on Tuesday, August 12, 2008 at Talbot Hospice House, Easton, MD. She was 92. Born in Easton, MD August 20, 1915, she was the daughter of the late Harry and Lena Faulkner Crow. Her husband, Marion O. Haddaway, whom she married February 27, 1932, died October 31, 1973. Mrs. Haddaway was devoted to her children, her church and her husband. In the summers she worked on the water with her husband and was well known for the delicious crab meat that she picked and sold until the time of her husband’s death. A resident of Oxford for the majority of her life, she was a member of the Oxford United Methodist Church since 1931, where from 1943 until 2007 she worked as the church custodian, walking to the church everyday until age 91. She became known to many, as she would talk to people and make new acquaintances on these daily walks. She enjoyed sending greeting cards to her friends, in which she usually enclosed some scripture or a poem, and reminiscing while viewing her photo albums. Some of her fondest memories in later years were the family dinners at birthdays and the Christmas holiday, the reunion at the Old Wesleyan Church in Oxford in the summer of 2007 and the Homecoming celebration at the Oxford United Methodist Church in the spring of 2008. Her joy in life was demonstrating her consideration and concern for others and she will be sorely missed by all those whose lives she touched. Mrs. Haddaway is survived by three children, Virginia Tyler of Centreville, Janice Haddaway of Oxford, and Paul R. Haddaway and his wife Susan Frey Haddaway of Easton; three sisters, Esther Mae Dunham of Homasasso Springs, FL, Bessie Bidwell of Vanetlen, NY, and Rosalie Lecates of Selbyville, DE; five grandchildren, Frank Tyler, Jr., Ronald Tyler, and Robin, Tina, and Rob Haddaway; and four great-grandchildren, Kyle, Loren, and Jill Tyler, and Marion Larrimore. She was predeceased by a son, Donald M. Haddaway, who died in 1989; three brothers, Wilson, Irving, and Lester Crow; and a sister, Alva Crow. Funeral services will be held on Saturday, August 16, 2008 at 11:00 AM at Oxford United Methodist Church, Oxford, MD.
