Watson Crews Boyd

Mr. Watson Crews Boyd, 86, of Newnan, GA passed away peacefully at home surrounded by his family on Sunday, January 8, 2023. He was born October 26, 1936 in Columbus, GA to the late Thomas Watson Boyd and Lottie Lou Crews Boyd. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 34 years, Betty Jo Yarbrough Boyd; one brother, William Boyd, three sisters, Huldah Yarbrough, Lottie Jiles and Kathleen Boyd. Crews grew up in Lagrange, GA and was a graduate of Lagrange High School. He proudly served in the U.S. Army 1954 - 1956. After his military service, he moved to the Atlanta area where he began his long, distinguished career at Delta Air Lines. He had a strong work ethic, but it paled in comparison to his commitment to Christ and the love and devotion he had for his family. Over the course of 55 years, he was honored to be a member of three church families: Glad Tidings (Jonesboro), First Assembly (Griffin) and Trinity Church (Sharpsburg), with the added privilege of serving as a board member at each.
