We regret to inform you of the passing this weekend of our dear friend, Spencer Crawford, art instructor and husband of our NCAEA President, Karen Canfield. Spencer had struggled with heart issues for years, and his heart gave out on him on the morning of Sunday, August 3.
The family has requested that a Memorial Service be held at Asheville School’s Boyd Chapel after the students return later this month. The service is scheduled for August 31st at 5:00 p.m. Please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers. Notes of condolences may be sent to Karen and family at:
Karen Canfield and family
6 Old Cove Road
Black Mountain, NC 28711
Karen and Spencer have two children, Sean and Erin, at home and both parents were making their living as teachers. The next few weeks will certainly be difficult with unforeseen expenses associated with these circumstances. Anyone wishing to help can send donations to Mark Sidelnick, NCAEA Treasurer, 18 Stephanie Lane, Asheville, NC 28805. Indicate that the donation is for Spencer Crawford.
The NCAEA is also working with the Asheville School, where Spencer taught, to create a scholarship fund. Although they have not worked out the details of the fund (scholarship fund for students interested in art, support for the Art program…), they will be notifying the family of contributions received. At an appropriate time, they will discuss with Karen how to best use those funds to honor Spencer and his service to Asheville School, his students, and the Arts.
Those wishing to honor Spencer in this way may send checks payable to Asheville School (please reference Spencer Crawford) to the Asheville School Development Office; 360 Asheville School Rd; Asheville, NC 28806 or make a gift online at www.ashevilleschool.org. They will also be putting together a way for alumni and friends to share their feelings and remembrances on their website in the next couple of days, so please check for that soon.
Spencer Crawford will be greatly missed by his family, students, colleagues, and his art family.
