Crystal L. Pepper, 46
HARRINGTON — Crystal L. Pepper went home to be with the Lord on Friday, June 19, 2015, surrounded by her loving family in her home. She was born to the late Robert and Mary Ann Shockley.
Mrs. Pepper held a great love of music which she has taught for almost 30 years. She taught elementary music at Lake Forest East Elementary school for the past 5 years. Mrs. Pepper was able to play and teach many instruments including piano, organ, saxophone, guitar, flute and the trumpet.
She also gave voice lessons.
Mrs. Pepper’s faith was the center of her life. She was a member of the Presbyterian Church Dover for the past 10 years and was active at Calvary United Methodist Church. She played the organ, directed both the choir and hand bell choir as well as the worship team. Mrs. Pepper was known to shoot rubber bands at choir members and the praise team to get their attention.
Mrs. Pepper was a one of a kind, intelligent person with a bubbly personality and sarcastic wit. She loved to read and take care of her children. She was often the life of the party at any gathering. If you knew her, you loved her.
Mrs. Pepper is survived by her loving husband of 26 years, William “Bill” Pepper Sr; daughter, Holland Pepper; and son, William Walter Pepper Jr, all of Harrington. She will be missed by her sisters, April Crompton of Magnolia and LoVonne Shockley of Harrington.
