Can anyone help me with the genealogy regarding Lottie Lee "Williams"

Question:

Can anyone help me with the genealogy regarding Lottie Lee "Williams" Crittenden?

She was married to Emmet Eugene Crittenden. She had one daughter Charlsa Jean Crittenden. She had 4 grand-daughters. Her husband, although was named Emmet Eugene, who was known as Gene helped raise these 4 grand-daughters. She owned and operated the cafe there in Ackerly for over a decade which was known as "Lottie's Cafe". She resided in Ackerly for many, many years; several after her husband Gene passed on. She did live in Big Spring for a short time and briefly in Lubbock where she passed away. She is buried in Big Spring, Texas. I believe she was buried there in January 2006.

Since Lottie's obit said that she came to Big Spring in 1927, I assumed that she was in the 1930 census for Howard county. Here is what I found:
