Her obit lists her husband, Mr. Thomas Croft [Sr.], and 10 of her 11 children, as surviving her. According to the Social Security Application & Claim's index, her husband, Thomas Calvin Croft, Sr. (interment unknown*) was born 19 Mar 1889 [SSDI says 1887], in Murry Cross (aka: Murrycross), Etowah, Co., Alabama to Hillary Croft & Bettie Adams, and died May 22, 1980 in Gadsden, AL. I have seen his father's first name spelled "Hillary," "Hillory," and "Hilery". Not sure which one is correct. I assume he is buried with his wife, but haven't found proof yet.
Her obit says her funeral services were at "Antioch Baptist Church" in Gadsden, but does not list the cemetery - I assume** she was laid to rest in the "Antioch Baptist Church Cemetery" in Gadsden. I found that that cemetery was renamed the "Whorton Bend Baptist Church Cemetery," when the church was renamed, and is located in Rainbow City, AL - a SW suburb of Gadsden.
*If anyone knows the interment location of her husband, Thomas Clifton Croft, Sr., please notify me and I will gladly make a memorial for him and connect him to her and their children. Thanks in advance!
**If this is incorrect please notify me and I will move her to the correct cemetery.
