Mary Louise (Birdwell) Craig

Mary Louise Craig, age 89 of Osgood, Indiana passed away Friday afternoon, April 7, 2017 at Kentuckiana Medical Center in Clarksville, Indiana. She was born September 22, 1927 in San Bernardino, California to the late James Herbert and Mary Maybel Nunn Birdwell. Mary moved to the Osgood area around 1989 to be near her daughter, Robin L. Reeves, where she remained living the rest of her life. You may have seen her on the streets of Osgood proudly driving her golf cart. She always had a smile on her face and loved saying hello to everyone!  She was known for her style in dressing that was strikingly unconventional and was sometimes far-fetched in appearance! She had attended the Osgood Christian Church and the Senior Citizen Center where she enjoyed playing bingo.

Survivors include her daughters, Robin L. (Tim) Reeves of Osgood, Mary Lea Bekkers of Oxford, Florida and Joanna Padilla of Mesa, Arizona. Six grandchildren, thirteen great grandchildren, one great great grandchild and one step grandchild and two step great grandchildren survive. She was preceded in death by her daughter Barbara Smith and two sisters Lois Heizer and Rosanna Hester.

A short memorial service will be held Sunday, April 16, 2017 at 12:15 p.m. at the Osgood Christian Church immediately following the regular church service. Church service will start at 10:00 a.m. with Sunday School following at 11:00 a.m. and again, the memorial service will be at 12:15 p.m.
