Kathy L. (Bishop) Crawford, 60 of North Norwich passed away Thursday morning January 14, 2021 at her home with her husband and daughter by her side.
Kathy was born in Oxford, NY in April of 1960 and was the daughter of Beatrice "Bea" Brazee and Barry Usher. (née Bishop)
She lived most of her life in the Norwich area. Over the years she had worked for BF Goodrich, Taylor's Mini Mart, Electron Coil, Heritage Farms, Chenango County ARC and Springbrook. She spent most of her career as a Medicaid Service Coordinator for CWS where she helped set up the Medicaid Coordinator Program. She retired in 2015 so she could focus on her family especially her children and grandchildren. Kathy was very well respected and loved by all her co-workers and the individuals she served during her career.
At home, Kathy enjoyed gardening, being outdoors, cooking and baking with her grandchildren and going to flea markets and storage auctions with her husband Jack. Kathy and her husband loved going to see live music and went to several music venues over the years where she would dance her heart out. She also enjoyed vacationing with her family, collecting Beatles memorabilia and anything quirky that caught her eye at yard sales and thrift stores. Kathy was an amazing friend who was always willing to help those in need. Above all else, she especially loved spending time with her husband, children, grandchildren and family.
On December 29, 1979 Kathy married the love of her life Jack Crawford and together they made their home on Steam Sawmill Hill Road in North Norwich.
