Jean Crouse

She worked briefly as a telephone operator and on May 6, 1950, she married Stacy Britton Crouse, who passed away in 1995. She will always be remembered as a great cook and in her youth, for her beautiful red hair, later to be a lovely, silvery white. She was a loving mother who always listened to her children whether it was their accomplishments or their troubles. She enjoyed a good joke, particularly when it was told by one of her grandchildren.
Two brothers, Elmer E. Jr. and Jack H. LaFevre, and three sisters, Elizabeth Rickert, Shirley Adams and Joan Deremer, all died earlier.
She is survived by three daughters, Barbara J. Henry and her husband, David of Brattleboro, Vt., Carol A. Woodward and her husband, David, of Key West, Fla., and Susan K.

She is also survived by many nieces and nephews and several thoughtful neighbors.
