Obituary for Craig E. Crumley
Craig E. Crumley age 59 passed away peacefully on May 18, 2022.
Craig was born on July 5, 1962, in Wilmington, Delaware. He worked many years as an ironworker for local 451. Prior to that he worked 12 years as a garage door technician. Craig was truly a “jack of all trades”, working on cars, building fences, installing electric and painting, which he also did professionally. He could cut in a wall with a 4” brush with absolute precision. He always took pride in his work.
Craig loved crabbing with his father. He loved eating the crabs as much as catching them and always enjoyed them with a cold bottle of Bud. He loved the beach, especially Ocean City, MD. Craig was a “momma’s boy” and proud of it.
Craig was preceded in death by his mother, Joan (Bevans) Sharkey; stepfather, Edward Sharkey; and stepmother, Linda Crumley.
He is survived by his father, Donald L. Crumley (Nancy); children, Stephen Crumley (Gabrielle) of Wesley Chapel , Florida and Jessica Crumley (Josh) of Moscow, Pennsylvania; sisters, Dawn Yetto (Rob) of Elkton, Maryland, Donna White (Bub) of Clayton, Delaware; brothers, Richard Crumley (Wendy) of Lincoln, Delaware and Mark Crumley (Pam) of Port Charlotte, Florida; 4 grandchildren, Stephen, Emilia, Joshua and Jocelyn and a 5th grandchild on the way.
He will be sorely missed by his companion and fiancé, Mariafae Patterson, and her daughter, Anna, and his loyal dog, Dutch.
Relatives and friends are invited to a viewing on Thurs. May 26 from 6-8pm at Krienen-Griffith Funeral Home, 1400 Kirkwood Hwy. Wilm. 19805. A service will be held on Fri. May 27 at 11am at the funeral home. Interment will be in Cathedral Cemetery.
