EUGENIA DEPASS MCCREA's Obituary
McCrea, Eugenia
GOD IS LOVE!
Eugenia DePass Pawley Beckwith McCrea walked in to the loving arms
of Christ March 12, 2019 where she received a group hug with her past 3 husbands, 2
sons, son in law and granddaughter. Smiling all the way.
Eugenia was a sweet, generous, lovely lady devoted to her family. She
was faithful, patriotic and honored her flag. She loved children, people
of all ages. Born August 12, 1925: in Tien-Sien China to Col. Morris B. DePass, a military attaché and Helen Stone DePass with 2 sisters who stayed close throughout their lives. She loved family gatherings.
She was known as “Miss Ginnie” at Easter Seals an organization where
she devoted the last 40 years of her life sharing joy and love to
everyone. “Nana” remains in our hearts and minds forever.
Needless to say, she will be sadly missed especially by her daughters,
Shelley Daniel Rutherford and Allison Beckwith Petrat and daughter in
law: Carol Adams Pawley. Grandchildren: Thomas Beckwith Daniel,
Trevor DePass Daniel, Taylor Holden Petrat, Jessica Eugenia Petrat,
Clifton Dobbs Pawley, Clayton DePass Pawley and Devon Capra Pawley.
Great grandchildren: Marlowe Daniel and Thomson Daniel.
Eugenia was a founding member of Gilded Lilies; the auxiliary to Easter
Seals, Beaux Arts, Young Patroness of the Opera, and provided many
years of support for Miami Lighthouse for the Blind. She was a member
of PEO, Hound Ears CC, Riviera CC, St. Thomas Episcopal Church and
Altar Guild of First United Methodist Church of Coral Gables.
In celebration of her life, please wear cheerful colors! Services will be
Saturday, April 27 at 11 am at First United Methodist Church of Coral Gables, 536 Coral Way. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to Easter Seals of South Florida; 1475 NW 14th Ave, Miami, Florida 33125 305-389-8450.
