A few years ago Mrs. Crooks moved to Texas to be close to family and was a member of First Baptist Church of Plano, Texas. Mrs. Crooks was preceded in death by her husband and parents. She leaves behind many loving family members and friends. A celebration of her life will be held at the church in August.
