Audrey Crawford-Hieronymus-Bouse-Jackson On Saturday, February 2nd, 2019, Audrey Crawford-Hieronymus-Bouse-Jackson, age 88, of Grain Valley, Missouri, peacefully passed away at home, surrounded by family members. Born December 28, 1930, Audrey was the second of three daughters born to William T. and Edna I., (Rodgers), Crawford. In 1948, Audrey married Kenneth Robert, (Bob), Hieronymus. The couple had three sons and one daughter, but divorced in 1957. In 1962 she married A. J. Bouse, and in 1963, the couple welcomed a son. She was widowed in 1978. In 2007 she married Robert Jackson, but was widowed again in 2012. Audrey was a hard working, loving, dedicated wife, mother and practical joker. She loved playing cards, and taught her children to play before they were old enough to attend school, providing them with inexpensive and thought provoking entertainment, while creating a young group to join her in a game of pitch, pinnacle, canasta or hand and foot. She retired from Glasgow Electric, sometimes working a second job to help support her family, and after her retirement, she helped operate the convenience store she and husband A.J. Bouse owned and operated. In later years, she cleaned the homes of several families in the Sedalia and Kansas City areas. She continued her cleaning business until 2011. Audrey was preceded in death by 2 great-grandchildren.
