Mrs. Alma "Libby" Elizabeth Mullins Craig's Obituary
Elizabeth “Libby” Mullins Craig
Madison, TN (formerly of Jenkins, KY) – Age 101. Born July 20, 1916 and passed Saturday, June 16, 2018. She is preceded in death by husband, William Frank Craig; parents, William Mullins and Martha Irba Anderson Mullins; brother, Earl Mullins; and, beloved cousins: Cora Lea Fleming Rabon Gaither and her son, Michael Gene Rabon; Inez Anderson Brown and her husband, Tom; and, Howard Anderson and his wife Imogene. She is survived by nephews: James L. Craig, Sr. and his wife Gale and their children; and, M. Anthony “Tony” Abel, I and his wife Nancy. Although she had no children, she was accepted as another mother to Cora Lea, Tony and Nancy, and as “Granny” to Cora Lea’s son (Mike) and Tony and Nancy’s children (Jason, Melonie and Anthony) and grandchildren (Katie, Sarah and Denver). She also was very close with her cousin Jennifer Rose and her husband Sam.
She was a long time member of the Jenkins United Methodist Church and a 60+ year member of the Order of Eastern Star. Her long-time residency in Jenkins was recognized when the city renamed the road where she lived as “Libby Lane”. She had a passion for shopping and travel, having been to many parts of America. Her foreign trips were to: Mexico; Greece and Italy; and, England, Scotland, Ireland and Germany. She had a quick wit which could often leave you speechless. She was a strong and remarkable woman who lived independently. She will be sorely missed and forever remembered by those privileged to have known and loved her.
A Memorial Service will be held at the Jenkins United Methodist Church, 9464 KY Hwy 805 (Main Street), Jenkins, KY 41537 at 1:30 pm on July 20, 2018, with the Reverend Albert B. Smith, III, officiating.
