Mary Alice (Wyatt) Crocker

Blackshear, GA

Mary Alice (Wyatt) Crocker, age 80, passed away on Saturday, October 7, 2017 after an extended illness at her home surrounded by her loving family.  The Harlan Kentucky native lived the last 35 years of her life in Pierce County.  She was married on May 16, 1953 to the love of her life, David Earl Crocker.  Together they raised 6 children in a loving Christian home and were married for over 47 years until his death.   Her family remembers her best as a “mama bear”.  She always put her family first in everything.  To say she was devoted and loving is not strong enough words for the dedication she gave her family.  Being a mother of 6, she had precious little free time, but when she could she loved to sew and make various arts and crafts.  As a family, they loved camping and fishing together.  She will leave a void in the fabric of this family that can never be filled; she will be missed by all.  Mary is preceded in death by her parents, Dan and Stella Wyatt; her husband of 47 years, David E. Crocker; a beloved toy-poodle, Molly; two brothers and 3 sisters.

Left to cherish precious memories are her 5 sons, David W Crocker of Homerville, Richard (Mary) Crocker, Timothy Crocker, all of Blackshear, Gregory (Donna) Crocker and Stephen (Cindy) Crocker of Smyrna; 1 daughter, Mary Catherine (Dan) Edenfield of Homerville; 2 brothers, Ray Wyatt of Upland IN and William A Wyatt of Garden Grove CA;  sister-in-law, Sandra (Earl Talmadge) Kicklighter of Jesup; 10 grandchildren; 12 great grandchildren; numerous nieces and nephews, and countless people she has had a positive impact on.
