Family Life: Five Adult Children
Terry and Rebecca King-Crews are parents to five adult children: Naomi, 36; Azriél, 35; Tera, 26; Wynfrey “Winnie”, 21; and Isaiah, 20.
Evolving Roles: From Parents to Advisors
Crews noted that their roles have evolved as their children have grown. They now serve more as advisors and friends, occasionally providing financial support. This shift has allowed Rebecca to pursue her own dreams and passions.
Now my wife and I, we can just pick up, we can go wherever we want. We can do what we want. And I’d say this, my wife has really attacked this in so many ways. She wrote books; she has a clothing line; she started a church. I mean, she’s done so many things simply because now she knew she had to replace the kids with her dreams and she never neglected herself. And I think that’s wonderful.
