April Crunkleton Ray

April Crunkleton Ray, 47, of Charleston, South Carolina, entered into eternal rest on Friday, June 14, 2024. The family will receive friends Wednesday, June 26 in the J. Henry Stuhr, Inc. West Ashley Chapel from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm, and a brief prayer service will begin at 7:00 pm. Burial will take place at a later date in the Iotla Baptist Church Cemetery in Franklin, NC.

April was born March 18, 1977 in Franklin, North Carolina, daughter of Kenneth Crunkleton and Judy Moffitt Combs.

April was the most thoughtful, caring, loving person anyone could be fortunate enough to know. She was devoted to her husband, her son, her daughter and her recently born grandson. April loved to spend time with family cooking, eating, talking, laughing. She loved all holidays, especially Christmas and Easter. Her Christmas stockings and Easter baskets are legendary! 

April was extremely smart, witty, and quick. She loved playing games with family and friends (if Heaven has Wheel of Fortune or Jeopardy you can bet April will be watching and she’s hard to beat).

She is survived by her husband, Scott H. Ray of Charleston, SC; father, Kenneth Crunkleton (Polly) of Franklin, NC; mother, Judy Moffitt Combs of Ladson, SC; children, Scott H. Ray Jr., United States Navy and Meaghan Scheufele of the home; grandson, Kingston Ray Chavis; and siblings, Jeff Combs (Rhonda), Jason Combs (Shauna), William Crunkleton, USMC (Allison), Emily Crunkleton Lamb (Lane), and Michelle Jennings Gerken (Todd).

She was predeceased by her stepfather Lucian Combs and her niece Anastasia Scheufele.

The family is sincerely appreciative of the constant, loving support of so many dear friends.

Memorial donations may be made in April's memory to a charity of your choice.
