In memory of

Wilma Crouch

of Prineville, Oregon, formerly of Wall, South Dakota, died on Saturday, July 1, 1989 at the Ochoco Nursing Home in Prineville, Oregon at the age of 82

Wilma was born July 3, 1906, in Prosser, Washington, to William C. and Cornelia (Alexander) Fix.  Most of her early years were spent in Washington and California.  She was a registered nurse in Pasadena, California.

She was united in marriage to Albert Crouch, former Creighton and Wall resident, on June 27, 1936, in Santa Monica, California, where they lived for several years.  In failing health, she spent a year in a Santa Monica sanitarium.  They later purchased a 40-acre tract in the Mojave Desert, where they lived until his death in 1970.

A few years later, she moved to Apple Valley, Oregon.  In 1986, she moved to Prineville to live near a brother, Leo Alexander.  In 1987 she lived with Edith Fochtman who cared for her until a couple of months ago when she entered a nursing home.

Survivors include her brothers, Leo Alexander of Prineville; a brother-in-law, George Crouch and his wife, Etta, of Rapid City; three sisters-in-law, Ruth Garr of Sun City, Arizona, Nina Crouch of Middletown, Kentucky, and Fern Courch of Rapid City; and many nieces and nephews.
