Willie Dean Craddock

Mrs. Willie “Willo” Dean Richards Craddock was born in Barbour County, AL on December 20, 1934 to the late Tom and Willie Mae Robinson Richards.

She departed this life at 91 years of age on Tuesday, June 16, 2026 at the home of her granddaughter surrounded by her loved ones.

She was a member of Union Grove at an early age, and later became a member of New Mt. Zion Freewill Baptist Church.

She was united in holy matrimony on June 25, 1955 to the late O.J. Craddock. Their union was blessed with three children, twin boys and a girl. She was preceded in death by her loving husband, and her twin boys Ronald and Donald Craddock.

The joys and pleasures of her life were spent with family and friends. Her last words she would always leave you with was “Love Love Love Always”, which came from her heart. She loved her family dearly and enjoyed spending anytime she could with them. She never met a stranger that she could not relate to or express her spirit of love and kindness.

She leaves to cherish her memory: one daughter Jessie Rean (Ike), of Abbeville, AL, one daughter-in-law Melissa Craddock of Abbeville, AL; twelve grandchildren: Angela (Jimmy) Horsley, Frieda (Nicholas) Stallworth, Karen (Gerry) Carter, Tony Williams, Timothy Williams, Michael Williams, Donald Jr. Craddock, all of Abbeville, AL, Michaleen (Kevin) McMillon, Newark, NJ, Dilia Craddock, Augusta, GA, Iris Craddock, Enterprise, AL, Kaleena Craddock, Huntsville, AL, Samiyah Craddock, Dothan, AL; Nineteen great-grandchildren, eight great-great grandchildren, and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
