This bright blue warm morning I read that I lost a childhood friend. As I think back to school hallways and a cafeteria dance floor, I remember Marybeth Crawford. I pulled out 78’ Beaty Torch and on page two found her handwriting, “David, to a nice kid that’s always after the girls. Don’t get to hooked on one she might dump you (only kidding) Don’t forget all the fun we had in science. AGFA Marybeth”
I will not forget the good times Marybeth. I will think of you as starlight.
When I picked up the paper this morning and seen the loss of Mary Beth my heart was saddened. I only knew her from the train station, but she was always sweet and kind and always had a beautiful smile. My dearest condolences to the family and for such a great loss. Sending prayers to her family .
Marybeth made the most delicious coconut cream pies with graham cracker crust that I have ever tasted. We drove all the way from Columbus to get her pies. God Bless & RIP.
So sorry for all the family.Mary Beth was kind and good to everyone.She will be missed
Aunt Marybeth was the most loving, caring woman! I remember my first trip to The Trainstation, and she made me feel so welcome and at home!! She was a beautiful woman, with a heart of gold. I knew that everytime I walked in their, she would welcome me with open arms!!
I will miss you so much!
My prayers are with Uncle Darrell, Jennifer, and Darrell Jr.
Dear Darrell and Jennifer and Darrell Jr. and family,
I was so saddened when I picked up the paper and saw the announcement of Marybeth’s passing. I’m feeling bad that we will not make it to the visiting hours, because we are out of town. Please know to all of the family, you are in our thoughts and prayers and please accept our sincere condolences to your wonderful wife and Mother. Marybeth, she was a very sweet and special person. She will be missed. Sincerely, Craig & Carol Wilcox
I always thought she was so pretty and a hard worker. I am sorry that she has passed.
I’m so sorry to hear about Marybeth’s passing. She made the BEST peanut butter pie. I would buy the whole pie. I did that quite often and one day I came in the Train Station. When I sat down Marybeth sat right next to me and said “If I give you my peanut butter pie recipe, would you stop buying all of mine?” I knew right then she was someone very special. I’m so very sorry for your loss. I will always remember her kindness and her beautiful smile.
Saddened to hear of Mary Beth’s passing. Our condolences go to her family and friends. Thoughts and prayers are with you. Sincerely, Elaine and Rodger Taraska
