Betty Crawford Hughes, 57, of Burgaw courageously fought for the past six years a battle with her disease, Scleroderma. On Thursday evening, March 24, 2016 Betty was healed as she joined the angels in God's Heavenly Kingdom.

She was born November 15, 1958 in Wilmington, the daughter of the late Wardell and Elva Grey Sellers Crawford.

Betty is survived by her loving husband of 38 years, Darrell D. Hughes; son, Randall D. "Randy" Hughes; daughter, Ashley Hughes and soon to be son-in-law, Brandon Huggins; sister, Mary Anne Black (Bill); brother, Leslie Crawford (Bonita); many nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.

Betty was a member of Herrings Chapel United Methodist Church where she was instrumental in starting a food bank and bread ministry. Also she initiated having Bible school for the children as well as participating in many other church activities.

Betty was a giving, sharing, caring lady who loved her family beyond measure. Being a very intelligent lady, Betty believed in and stressed the importance of education for all. Betty always had a hand stretched out to help others and a heart ready to show her love for Jesus. Betty will be dearly missed as a wife, mother, sister and friend.
