Holly Nicole Crawford
Holly Nicole Crawford of Reklaw went into the arms of her beloved Savior on January 17, 2026.
Holly was born in Anaheim, California on February 28, 1975, to Julia Wlodarczyk and Gary Bach.
In 1992, her family moved to Colorado Springs where she very soon met her husband, Keith. On July 15, 1995, they were married in Narragansett, Rhode Island. They then embarked on an over 26-year adventure serving our great country together in the United States Air Force. During that time, Keith, Holly, and family moved frequently with children born in Arizona and California. Their adventures continued in Florida, Texas, Washington, D.C., Alabama, and Virginia.
Holly was a devoted wife and mother who homeschooled both her children and supported their activities to include Julianna’s many years of ballet and Christian’s many hockey seasons. Holly loved traveling with Keith and the family; they had many special experiences around the United States and overseas with travel to Italy, Germany, France, Austria, and England over the years. One of her favorite memories was the family RV trip from Florida to Texas, Arizona, California, then along Route 66 to Chicago and on to Washington, D.C. Her favorite time of year was Christmas, and she was known for waking up the family sometimes as early as 3:00 in the morning to open presents. After numerous family adventures, they moved to Reklaw and were blessed to celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary. Holly was a one-of-a-kind lady and will always be remembered for her kindness, empathy, and caring soul.
Holly’s surviving family include her husband Keith; children Julianna Nicole and Christian Irwin; mother and stepfather Julia and Greg Wlodarczyk; father Gary Bach and brother Gabriel Wlodarczyk.
A Celebration of Life for Holly will be held at Rusk Bible Church, 245 S Main St, Rusk, TX at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, January 24. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to PreBorn at https://give.preborn.com
