Denise M. Craycraft

Denise Craycraft 65, of Springfield, Ohio was born October 28, 1956 to the late Mr. & Mrs. John T. Hogan; and became an angel on December 11, 2021. Denise is survived by her daughter Tara (Anthony Moore) Craycraft, and her son Josh (Dawn) Craycraft. In addition to her children, Denise leaves behind four grandchildren Avery, Cadence, and Tobias Craycraft along with Treyvaughn Whitaker. Denise also has three great- grandchildren Chase Paul Craycraft, Amira Whitaker, and bonus great grandson Oliver Allen. Brothers and sisters left behind include; Charlie, Tim, Tom, Tee Ann, Helen and Peggy. She is preceded in death by her husband Jake Craycraft and grandson whom she helped raise Aaren Craycraft. Denise was employed at Triad Products in Springfield, Ohio as a seamstress for many years. She then went on to work for Eby-Brown, where she later retired. During her employment and adult life Denise met many people she would consider her friends, but two became her sisters Lil Hansgen-Cave and the late Joan Mills. Before becoming ill, Denise enjoyed playing bingo and cooking; she will forever be remembered for her delicious homemade pizza and pizza rolls. For those who knew Denise, knew she had a special love for her husband and grandson Aaren, whom were both called home earlier this year. She tried to go on with life without them, but her broken heart would not allow her to. Although she will be missed dearly, may we find comfort in knowing she has rested into eternal life with those whom she held most dearly to her heart. Family will receive friends Friday, December 17, 2021, from 1-3pm with services at 3:00PM in the Richards, Raff, and Dunbar Memorial Home 838 E. High Street Springfield, Ohio 45505.
