Joan Crevier
April 3, 1933 – March 29, 2022
Joan Savignac Crevier passed away on Tuesday, March 29, at the residential community of Aegis Living in Ventura, California.
She was predeceased by her husband William F. Crevier; her parents, David Savignac Sr and Edna Rose Flynn; her daughter, Catherine Lloyd, and her sister, Yvonne Baumgartner. She is survived by her brother David Savignac Jr, her children Victoria, William, and Thomas, her grandchildren Alexander, Samantha, Zachary, and Jonathan, and numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.
Joan was born on April 3, 1933, in St. Louis, Missouri. After the unexpected death of her father in 1943, her mother and siblings moved to Los Angeles, where Joan grew into adulthood. Her early first marriage brought her four children by the age of 24. That marriage soon ended in divorce, and the pressures and responsibilities that she encountered as a young single mother took a hefty toll. In 1968, she found help as “a friend of Bill W,” beginning a path of sobriety that changed her future.
With the strength and support she gained from her new community, her life greatly improved. She obtained a GED certificate and began studying to become a Licensed Vocational Nurse. With diplomas in hand she began a life of service that would continue into her 80’s, first as a nurse at Valley Presbyterian Hospital in Van Nuys, where she gained a reputation for professionalism and competence in the Orthopedics ward. She remarried in 1972 but became a widow just two years later at the age of 41. At that time she thought that her future would center on her profession, and she contemplated joining the Peace Corps.
But the unexpected happened. Joan met Bill Crevier at a meeting in the San Fernando Valley. Their relationship blossomed, and in 1979 they entered a happy marriage of a quarter of a century. Bill and Joan designed and built a home in San Clemente, close to his business, and Joan served as a volunteer nurse, and later as the medical coordinator, at the nearby Laguna Beach Free Clinic. She also volunteered with the Red Cross. After Bill retired, they moved to his birthplace in South Dakota, and later relocated to Maui. They traveled extensively together; their exploits included a cruise on the QE2, a flight on the Concorde, and many miles in an RV around the country, with Joan driving and Bill the co-pilot. Joan and Bill were active in their community, enjoyed making new friends and entertaining, and both were avid bridge players.
Many of Joan’s activities in Maui centered on helping those on their way to recovery. Much of this was done personally, as a sponsor for new AA members and just as an encouraging friend; she was a regular attendee at AA conventions and a leader and speaker at local meetings. She re-established an AA program at the women’s prison at the Maui Community Correctional Center and led or organized weekly meetings there for over a decade. Over the years, Joan became convinced that AA’s program could be more attractive to atheists, agnostics, and freethinkers. Joan was particularly sensitive to this issue because, as a sober non-believer, she had always been uncomfortable with the idea that success under the program required acceptance of a “higher power.” When she found others with similar thoughts, she joined with a newcomer to create an AA meeting called “We Agnostics,” the first of its type in Hawaii. She helped organize and was chosen as the first speaker of the first We Agnostics, Atheists and Freethinkers of AA International Convention, which was held in Santa Monica in 2014. The Convention still meets every two years and is part of a growing movement in AA. Through her initiative, Joan made the recovery program more accessible to many who might have otherwise “fallen through the cracks.” Without question, in her fifty-plus years of sobriety, she helped hundreds of people in their path toward recovery.
Joan passed away five days short of her eighty-ninth birthday. Her death is mourned by family and friends and by the numerous people she helped. She did not live the unexamined life; she made a difference. Sit terra ei levis – “May the earth lie gently upon her.”
Joan’s final resting place is at the Maui Veterans Cemetery in Makawao, where she is together again with Bill. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation in her memory to Planned Parenthood or the ACLU, her favorite nonprofit organizations.
