Janet M. “Diddee” Crump, age 73, passed away peacefully in Hampton, Virginia, on April 9, 2025. Born on November 14, 1951, in Perry, Kentucky, she was a long-time resident of Newport News, Virginia. She was an avid reader who enjoyed historical fiction, true crime, and political news. As a lover of history, her favorite pastimes included trips to museums, the Yorktown battlefields, and Colonial Williamsburg.
