Mary Cramlett

Mary Cramlett, 85, of Rockford, IL affectionately known as "Grandma" to everyone that knew her, passed comfortably in her home October 3, 2021.  Mary was born December 22, 1935, to T. Moses & Hettie Hon in Hoxie Arkansas. She worked for Conover Square, Product Display and Community Care for many years as a caregiver to numerous people through the years. Mary truly had a special gift of taking care of everyone. She had a special way of making everyone she came into contact with smile and feel beautiful or handsome. She had a quick wit and a great sense of humor. Even though she had a 14-year battle with Alzheimer’s dementia, she never lost her sweetness and charm. She truly loved everyone unconditionally.
Mary is survived by her son K. Dale (Alanna) Turner, daughter Tammie Hada, grandchildren Naomi (Jim) Maddux, Bruce (Laura) Turner, Jerod (Magen) Turner, Chelsea (James) Ewing and Timmy Voyles.
