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. Janet was also a devoted caregiver to her many beloved fur babies that she had throughout her life. She will be forever remembered for her quiet nature, thoughtfulness, and her kindness.
Janet was preceded in death by her husband, Glenn A. Crump, Jr., father Vernon P. Moore, mother Molly “Monnie” R. Moore, and aunt Joyce Ann Luttrell.
She is lovingly remembered by her children, son Patrick S. Housden, daughter Emily F. Collina; son-in-law, Nick Collina; brother, Chris E. Moore; grandchildren, Brittany Heath and Devon Housden; nieces, Rachel Moore and Chrystal Jones; cousin, Kim Luttrell; and her many family members in Kentucky and California.
A private burial and celebration of life ceremony will be held at a later date.

What a sweet and beautiful woman sorry for your loss Emily may she rest in peace sending prayers to you and your family
Dearest Jan. Your Love for family and others never stopped.Your laugh was one thing that I remember the most. Our conversations that lasted for hours. My mother Sandy had the love of animals just like you. Glenn couldn’t survive without you and your support and love. You were like two peas in a pod. The days go on but Memories still survive in my head. Such a loss. You are missed so much. May God rest your soul and bless you with no more pain and sorrow.
