Squeak was born August 14, 1948 in Walla Walla, Washington, the daughter of Wilburn G. and Laura C. Lugena Thomas. She married John Glenn Crawford on March 10, 1975 in Quincy. He preceded her in death on July 10, 2008.
Squeak was a well known bartender in Quincy. Over the years she tended bar at the VFW Post, The Copper Kettle, The Grove Inn, and most recently, The Oakley-Lindsey Center and The Harrison Pub, where she worked for 17 years. When she was younger, Squeak ran a thrift store with her sister, Bonnie. In her spare time, she enjoyed making crafts, crocheting, and going to garage sales.
