Mickey was my neighbor for a short time in Santa Rosa. She and I loved chatting in her living room, about painting and writing and life in general. She was very sweet and "light" and had a great sense of humor. My condolences to all who loved her and will miss her. Rest in well-deserved peace, Mickey.

I met Mickey 46 years ago. I was a daughter in law. We had lots of laughs in those days and went on many adventures together. Mumm is the word Mickey! Our relationship took many turns, Time changes all of us. Our common thread was art , music, a big laugh, a secret adventure to laugh about later.I appreciate the art work she gave me. My thoughts are with her boys & their families. I leave you with Proverbs 31~10~31 Sande Crawford

Mickey, thank you for including me in your family. There have been many times when you have welcomed me into your home when I was a child. I always loved the huge wall with all of your paintings. My favorites were the nest that did by removing the paint rather than adding it, and if course the painting of the girl with the rosy cheeks. Love to you always, and love to you Gary, Chad, and families.

I got to know this wonderful lady while volunteering at her assisted living facility. She was a joy and because of her wealth of real estate background, I took her once to our real estate partner meeting and she really enjoyed it. Spent much time with her and she was one-in-a-million! Love you, Mickey!

So sad to learn of your passing. I had the pleasure of knowing you for a few, short months while working at Bridgewood. I miss your smile and greetings and calling me Sugar. I so appreciate your thoughtfulness in asking me every day how my children were and remembering their names. You will be missed Sweet Lady. Rest in Peace.
