Ms. Inez Crandall

Ms. Inez Crandall was born March 7, 1942 in Leechville, North Carolina to the late Forrest and the late Mary Frances Crandall. Inez was called home to her heavenly father on December 20, 2017. She was known to many as “Lil Bit”. Growing up along with her siblings, Inez attended the Beaufort County Schools then moved to New Bern with one of her sisters for a few years before finding her way to New York as a home based. During her time there with her long time courtship with Howard “Rock” Hudson, they had a daughter. Inez has always been a hard worker, a caring person, and a nurturer to many nieces, nephews, and friends. She worked within the fashion district in New York City as a consultant before heading back to school to pursue her career as a Registered Nurse. Inez cared for the young and old at Woodmere Rehabilitation and Health Care Center in Woodmere, NY for seventeen years until her retirement at the age of sixty-two in 2004. From there she packed up her belongings and moved her and her granddaughters back home to North Carolina. Inez rededicated her life to Christ in 2007 under the leadership of Pastor Dennis Davis, Jr. of Cornerstone Tabernacle Outreach Ministries. She attended regularly until her sickness in 2013 took hold, but has never forgotten where her help and health came from, her Savior Jesus Christ. As her sun rose on March 7, 1942 and as her sunset on December 20, 2017, Inez left to carry on her memory. Her daughter, Torri Hudson; two granddaughters, Tanasia Hudson, Chyna Hudson of the home; four sisters, Rena Spearman, Joyce Johnson, Mary Bullock of Washington, NC, Faye Crandall of Brooklyn, NY; three brothers, William Crandall (Arizona) of Georgia, Nelson Crandall, Edward Crandall of Washington, NC; two daughters-in- kind, Veronica Ward (Craig) of Belhaven, NC, Audrey Palmer-Windley of Raleigh, NC; five grandchildren-in-kind, Yolanda Palmer and daughter Jayla of Winterville, NC, Kisha Moore, Patrick Moore, Jr. of Belhaven, NC, Henry Taylor of Belhaven, NC; twenty two nieces and nephews; forty seven great nieces and nephews; fifty four great great nieces and nephews; a host of cousins and special close friends.
