Obituary Date: Friday, October 12, 2018

Anderson “Andy” Crawford: Toccoa, Georgia

Anderson Burgess Crawford was born in Franklin County Georgia on August 5, 1923. His parents were Van Alvin and Leila Stonecypher Crawford. He went to heaven on October 12, 2018.

As a child, Andy was a member at Martin Baptist Church and graduated from Eastanollee high school in 1941. He was married for 72 wonderful years and is survived by his wife, the former Mary Sue Stinespring, whom he met while they were both working at the Letourneau plant in Toccoa. He left C & P Motors to launch the Currahee Insurance Agency in 1958. He also had other business success as one of the 10 founders of Amidec Inc. They were very active members of the First United Methodist church of Toccoa since 1947. Although he was close with all the pastors, he would tell you that his spiritual life grew tremendously especially under the leadership of Dr. Frank Moorehead. Many people were inspired by Andy’s singing at the Methodist Church where he was a member of the choir for over 60 years and blessed his church with his solos in many services. He served and loved the people in our community and was a member of the Toccoa Lions Club for 72 years.

Their oldest daughter Debbie is married to John Wilkinson. Their son Terrell and wife Tiffney have three sons, Griffin, Gavin, and Graden. Their daughter Tara has two daughters, Andi and Rachel. Their second daughter Jane is married to Rick Moody of Morganton, NC. Their daughter Amy Lee and her husband John Ingham have a son Dawson and a daughter Eliana. Their son Austin lives in Denver, CO. 

Their son, John of Atlanta, is married to Annie. They have four sons, Luke, Josh, John-John, and Stevie.
