She was a precious angel always so friendly and I liked her from the first time I saw her George too

I remember all the love, joy, kindness, faith and sense of family that radiated from my Aunt Jennie. As kids we would come down to visit aunts, uncles and cousins in the Yulee, Jacksonville area and the highlight of each visit was spending time at Crady Lake with Aunt Jennie and Uncle George. It was a true paradise for us young 'uns!! And Aunt Jennie and Uncle George truly were like "peas and carrots". Although her passing is a deep loss, we have to be so grateful for all that she has left us with. Love and sympathy to all her family and friends.

Dee is a dear friend. Sadly, I had never meet her beautiful mom. I did so look forward, during Christmas, watching her parents open a gift for each day in Dec. It was so special to see the fun and love between Dee’s parents. My heart breaks for you all. I know she’ll be missed greatly. Sending prayers and love during this difficult time.

Ms Ginny was always so sweet and caring. ESP for her children. I remember seeing her at the Bait and Tackle store. She never had an unkind word to say to anyone. She will be greatly missed. I know George is heartbroken but yet rejoicing the fact that she is with the Lord.

Nancy Rouser

Though I never had the honor of meeting Jennie, I feel I know her through her beautiful daughter, Michele- who is the most down-to-earth, loving person around.

So sorry George and Family a wonderful lady

Belinda Kern

I had the privilege of knowing her through Mr. George when he would visit us daily. She wasn't a daily visitor like Mr. George . I so enjoyed our conversations on her rare visits. I know she will be missed by her 6 beautiful girls for they are all as beautiful as her. May the Lord give you peace and comfort during this time.

Meagan Graham

I will always remember their Easter/ fairy parties they held out at the lake. Some of my best memories of holidays were out there. What a lovely lady she is and will always be remember for her passion to make others happy. Praying for the family and everyone’s strength in this difficult time.

Mamo was one of the most beautiful souls I have ever known. I am forever thankful to have known the warmth and love of her hugs, smile and kindness. Love,Linda

Like most people I first met Mrs. Crady when I met George. The Bible says,"By their fruits you shall know them." Any one who could corral George for all these years had to be an amazing person. Without a doubt George could not have accomplished what he has had he not had her by his side. I knew her through Kim and know she wasa woman of fierce loyalties and unwavering honesty. May all the family cherish her memory so that she never leaves you. God bless you all.

On August 2, 2024, Virginia “Jennie” Roerig Crady (88), passed away peacefully with her family surrounding her.

Jennie is survived by her husband, George Crady, and six daughters, Kim Crady, Lynne Sluder (Rick), Dee Stemrich, Shannon Arola (Travis), Jackie Shepard (Andy) and Michele Collins (John). She adored her 18 grandchildren, 23 great-grandchildren and 1 great-great grandchild and made each one feel like her favorite.

Jennie was born in Jacksonville, FL, and has lived in Yulee since 1965. She spent the first part of her married years raising her children and working in the family business. She enriched our community by spending countless hours volunteering in clubs, organizations and schools and helped found the volunteer EMS in Nassau County. Jennie was also an incredible nurse and shared her endless love with her patients. One of her most remarkable accomplishments, and something we continue to admire, was her unwavering love for our “Papa”, which resulted in a cherished marriage of 69 years.

Her passion for her family and their friends was boundless. The moment you stepped through her door, you were instantly embraced as family. From then on, she would wholeheartedly take on the role as your “Mamo”, sharing with the fortunate ones all the treasures and privileges of her unconditional love, with all the warmth and affection that came with it. This was her most cherished and widely admired quality.

We will miss her deeply. She was our steadfast support through every high and low, the person we turned to for clarity and comfort in life's events. She consistently gave her all and never wavered in her fight for what was right. Through her, we learned the true meaning of love, generosity, and the importance of family. We are committed to carrying on the cherished traditions she held dear. Her presence made our world brighter, and for that, we are profoundly grateful. We take solace in knowing she rests in the loving embrace of our Lord.

Guests are warmly invited to join us for a remembrance gathering to offer support and share memories starting at 10:00 AM on Saturday, August 10, 2024 at Oxley-Heard Funeral Directors. A celebration of Jennie’s life will follow at 11:00 AM.

As a breast cancer survivor of 40 years, Jennie’s compassion extended beyond herself. She was deeply passionate about the ALS Association, the Multiple Sclerosis Society, and the American Cancer Society. Rather than flowers, please consider making a donation to one of these causes or a charity of your choice in her memory.
