Adiele and Marley Crutchfield

Graveside services for Adiele Blaine Crutchfield Galbraith, 6, and Marley Claire Crutchfield Galbraith, 4, will be at 2 p.m. today at Rest Haven Memorial Gardens in Arkadelphia, Ark. Adiele and Marley died Dec. 6, 2012. Adiele was born July 31, 2006. Marley was born Jan. 9, 2008.

Both girls attended Perritt Primary and were in pre-k and first grade. They were active in Girl Scout Troop 6116 and students at Titan Gym and Tiny Titan Program. Adiele wanted to be a princess when she grew up and Marley (little mama) wanted to be a mommy.

Adiele and Marley were little girls with big hearts and often took part in donations to those less fortunate and took part in volunteer work and the Locks of Love Foundation. There was not a person who knew them that did not get a hug upon arrival and leaving. They will be greatly missed by all.
