Jerry Crow

Jerry Crow, of Terrell, passed away on Feb. 25, 2025, after a brave and hard fought battle against Leukemia. Jerry was born in Terrell, TX on July 12, 1943 to James and Rachel Crow, both of whom preceded him in death. In January 1965, Jerry married the love of his life, Joan Hall, and together for over 35 years, they shared their lives and love while they were blessed with a family of four children, until her passing in March 2000. Family was THE most important thing in his life and his pride and joy were his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. He was the rock that held the Crow family together by arranging and continuing the tradition of the Family Reunions and the Annual Crow Fish Fry. Jerry had a long career as a truck driver for Red Arrow Freight line, which later became ABF, retiring in 2005. After his retirement, he found his true passion of cooking for others when he began to run the cafe at Corsicana Livestock Auction in Angus. People came from all around the area just to eat his chicken fried steak and burgers and visit with him. He loved connecting with people and made many dear friends there, along with meeting a special lady, Patsy Rickert. They brought happiness to each other's lives for 15 years until her passing in 2020. From that relationship, he gained a bonus family he loved like his own, including Patsy's daughters & sons-in law, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. His devotion to his family and making sure everyone got enough to eat was a hallmark of Jerry’s legacy that his loved ones will be proud to carry on into future generations. Jerry is preceded by his beloved wife, Joan Hall Crow; Brothers: Willie Crow, Loyd Crow, Loy (Babe) Crow, Harold Crow, Jay Crow, Bill Crow; sisters: Wilma Crow, Ethel Morrison, Betty Pate; special lady, Patsy Rickert. Jerry leaves his memory to be cherished by his four children: Carolyn Crow Scott, Kevin Crow, Janet Crow (Lori Minihan), Shirley Crow (Chris Jones); grandchildren: Lance Morgan (Kayla), Bailey Crow (fiancé Alex Kiefer), Jennifer Jones, Lauren Jones; great grandchildren: Rayelyn and Westley Morgan; brother, Horace Crow; sisters: Melba Willis (Lindon) and Laverne McManus; Patsy's children, grandchildren & great grandchildren: Stephanie & Floyd Mummert, Patricia and Sammy Cervantes, Chris Mummert, Clayton Mummert (Kenzie Hughes), Marcelina Cervantes, Paula Cervantes, Zechariah, Oaklynn and Brooklyn, along with numerous nieces, nephews, other extended family and many friends.
