Pearl Craft Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Pearl Mae Farley Craft, 87 left this earth on December 27, 2020 surrounded by her loving family. She was born on June 29, 1933 to David Lem and Lula Mae Farley in Kusa, OK. She was a lifelong Henryettan. She graduated from Henryetta High School in 1951. After graduation she left Henryetta and went to work in Oklahoma City, although she quickly returned to her hometown to marry the love of her life. She married Jackie Ray Craft on June 20, 1953. From their union three sons were born. These boys were the center of her life. She spent endless hours on the river fishing with them and many more hours in the stands at numerous sporting events. Her home was considered a second home to so many of the boys’ friends. She loved the full house and enjoyed cooking for them all. Her most favorite remembered dish was her famous chocolate gravy. Pearl was also blessed with a house full of grandchildren who carried over the tradition of filling her house full of love and laughter. They spent countless hours playing uno, checkers, dress up and coloring. She continued her love of sports throughout her grandchildren’s lives as well. Her grandkids would all agree that times spent at their granny’s were the best times ever. In addition, to raising a beautiful family, she retired from Lake Drive Nursing Home, where she was a bookkeeper for almost 30 years. She could light up a room with her smile and her laugh was contagious. She never met a stranger and was everything good in this world. She is preceded in death by her parents, her husband, two sons, Jackie Ray Craft Jr. and Carl Don Craft, one granddaughter, Andrea Marie, one sister, Polly Farley Williamson, four brothers, Bill Farley, Floyd Farley, Loyd Farley, and David Farley.
