She was born in Daviess County on June 2, 1948 to Herman and Christina Elizabeth Bivens Crabtree. She was a member of Audubon Church of the Nazarene. She worked mostly as a “lunchroom lady” in the OPS school system. During the summers she worked on the Paint Crew and participated in shenanigans. She loved a good yard sale and would compete for the best deal of the day. She was a loyal UK fan but wasn’t afraid to boo them, when they messed up. She could cook up a storm and her recipes are gold. Most of all, she loved her family with fierceness like no other and spoiled her grandbabies.
