Annie Laurie Howell Crawford Wharton, 100, passed away peacefully at home July 21, 2021.
A lifelong resident of Wayne County, she was born Oct. 7, 1920, to Jarman P. and Beatrice H. Howell in the Belfast community.
She attended Belfast School, Goldsboro High School and Greensboro College.
Musically gifted, she would sing in public and private, play piano and perform in theater productions for the rest of her life. One highlight was her role as Buttercup in the play âH.M.S Pinafore,â starring with Andy Griffith.
In 1939, she risked, and earned, parental disapproval by leaving college to marry John R. Crawford Jr. However, their union was meant to be as they were happily married for 49 years until his death in 1988.

Hayley Matthews to play in the Hundred
Article by July 14, 2021
West Indies allrounder and T20 World Cup winner Hayley Matthews has signed for Welsh Fire, while Colin de Grandhomme will continue his stint at the Ageas Bowl after replacing Andre Russell on Southern Brave’s list of overseas players.
Matthews, who was Player of the Match when West Indies won the 2016 World T20 in Kolkata, was unveiled by Welsh Fire after it was confirmed that Suné Luus has returned a positive Covid-19 test and is not able to travel.
Meanwhile de Grandhomme, who made a career-best 174 not out for Hampshire on his LV= Insurance County Championship debut, and was part of the New Zealand squad that claimed the World Test Championship mace against India last month, takes over from Russell who has been ruled out due to international commitments.
