      Pilot, The (Southern Pines, NC) - Thursday, June 14, 2018

      Florene Yarborough Craft, 82, of New Braunfels, Texas died Sunday, June 10, 2018, at Methodist Medical Center Hospital in San Antonio, Texas.

      There will be a visitation at Zoeller Funeral Home, 615 Landa St., New Braunfels, Texas, Wednesday June 20, from 5 to 7 p.m. A funeral service will be held at Oakwood Baptist Church, 2154 Loop 337, New Braunfels, Texas, Thursday, June 21, at 11 a.m. Burial service will follow at Fort Sam Houston Cemetery in San Antonio at 1:15 p.m. Following the burial service, there will be a reception at Oakwood Baptist Church at 4 p.m.

      Florene was born in Raeford to the late Loney William and Viola Wright Yarborough and moved to Pinehurst at a very early age, where she lived and attended school, graduating from Pinehurst High School after 12 years without missing a day. Later that year she married Robert E Craft on Nov. 21, 1954.

      True to her name, Florene means "Flowering in bloom." She lived, by one of the greatest Biblical principles: Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friend." John 15:13.

      In addition to her parents, Florene was preceded in death by her brother, William H. (Buddy) Yarborough, formerly of Maxton, and brother-in-law, Tommy Prickett.

      She is survived by her husband of 63 years, Robert E Craft; children, David Jefferson Craft and wife Maggie, of Carthage, Robert W. "Bobby" and wife, Molly Craft, of New Braunfels, Texas, Cynthia Lynn "Cindy" Craft, of New Braunfels, Texas; sisters, Jean Yarborough Prickett, of Carthage, Barbara Cortez Southers and husband, Richard Southers, of San Antonio, Texas; grandchildren Nicole Craft, Danielle and husband, Cody Bass, of New Braunfels, Texas, Katherine "Katy" Craft, of Kentucky; great-grandchildren, Emmalee Wetz, Cooper Bass and Jasper Dyal, all of New Braunfels, Texas.

      She will be truly missed by all who knew and loved her.

      Florene, your work here on earth was well done. May you rest in peace now in the loving arms of our Lord Jesus Christ.
