Charlotte was born on November 16, 1949 in Laurel, Mississippi. She was the daughter of Warren Hinton and Kathryn Sherman. She resided in Soso, Mississippi for 18 years. She then attended The University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg while earning a bachelor’s degree in Home Economics. She later returned to Southern Miss to earn a Master’s degree in Home Economics and later earned another in Biological Sciences.
Charlotte was a hard-working educator for 44 years. She taught a variety of subjects including Culinary Arts, Biology, and Anatomy & Physiology. She spent the last 27 years of her career at Pace High School. Throughout her career, she taught over 6000 students, and the impact she had on many of them will never be forgotten. From her entertaining lessons and zany mnemonic devices to her energetic sponsorship of clubs and organizations, she influenced her students to be the best version of themselves academically, socially, and morally.
Charlotte was a member of the East Hill Church of Christ in Pensacola, Florida for over 37 years where she enjoyed teaching children’s classes, singing hymns, and hosting church gatherings in her home. She was an avid seamstress, quilter, and crafter. She truly loved sharing her gifts by teaching others to learn these special skills too. Charlotte was an active member of the Tallahala chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Over the years, she was also involved in many service organizations throughout the community.
There was nothing Charlotte enjoyed more than being a loving Mom and Meme. She and Hardy spent countless hours with all five of their grandchildren. Whether she was attending their games, musical events, watching movies, baking brownies, or making a root beer float, these moments brought endless happiness to her life. Being a mother and grandmother was one of the greatest joys of her life.
She truly had a servant’s heart. She devoted much of her life to taking care of everyone around her. When her mother was paralyzed from a stroke, Charlotte selflessly became her care-giver for 9 years of her life. Charlotte also lovingly cared for her dear husband Hardy as he suffered from a degenerative brain disease for 2 years. She was a giver in every aspect of life. This depth of love and genuine care for others is a treasured gift that will be missed by all that knew her.

Holley ‘Rex’ Crews
October 21, 2022
Holley “Rex” Crews was born to Versie and Willie Mae Crews on January 18, 1941, in the Holland Town community, where he grew up with his siblings and cousins. Rex began working on his uncle’s farm at a young age and was driving a tractor by the age of 8. As he got older, he began working with a builder where he learned some of the skills that would help build his career.
He met the love of his life, Lottie “Nell” Day at a school dance in July of 1958, and they were married June 27, 1959. They welcomed their first son, Danny, in 1961, followed by their youngest son, Rocky, in 1962.
1962 was a big year for Rex, as he also started his flooring business “Rex Crews Flooring.” He loved making his customers happy and making sure that he left a job that he was proud of. He learned his trade well and could nail a floor faster than most other floor men all the way up until the day he retired. With this determination and perseverance, and most importantly God’s help, he and Nell built a strong business that provided well for their family and then their sons’ families for 45+ years and left a legacy of quality service for the Gulf Coast community.
If you ever got to speak with Rex about his life, he would tell you he was very blessed. He was a member of Springhill Primitive Baptist church where he faithfully attended and helped with church upkeep as much as he could. He loved having his wife by his side from his morning cup of coffee throughout the day until he could kiss her good night. It was rare that you ever saw them apart. He also loved being outside tending his yard, helping his sons with various projects, showing his grandkids things in the woods, or just enjoying the beauty of God’s creation while relaxing on vacation. He was a cancer survivor of almost 30 years. He always counted it a great blessing to be able to sit down to a good meal, especially when it was finished up with a big bowl of soft serve ice cream or one of Nell’s famous desserts. These meals were even more enjoyable to him, when he could be surrounded by his sons, grandkids, and great grandkids. He loved being able to share time with them.
Jesus called Rex home to be with Him in Heaven on October 17, 2022. He is preceded in death by his father, Versie Crews; his mother, Wille Mae (Nelson) Crews; his brother, Heston Crews; and his sister and brother-in-law, Thelma and Doyle Wolfe.
His memory will be cherished and carried on by his wife of 63 years, Nell; his two sons Danny (Wendy) Crews and Rocky (Connie) Crews; his four grandchildren Jennifer (David) Brooks, Joe (Sarah) Crews, Heather (Jordan Dunlap) Crews, and Ethan (Hayley Wilson) Crews; ten great grandchildren; sister Kathleen (Wayne) Pierce; brother John David Crews; and many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
