October 11, 2003 Curry Coastal Pilot
Clarice E. Crook, 91, died Oct. 8, 2003, at a private care home in White City following a long illness.
She was born June 26, 1912, in Dorris, Calif., to Frank C. High and Julie Rodscou High.
She was raised and educated in California and Southern Oregon. When she and her father moved to Brookings in 1933, they purchased 7 acres of land, next to which Kalmiopsis Elementary School was built.
She married Arthur Crook in 1934 in Brookings. The couple bought property from her father and lived on the family homestead until 2000. The family ran their logging truck business from this location. Their home, shop and horse pasture are located where Brookings' new schools now reside.
Clarice formed the Birthday Club in Brookings, with a monthly meeting to celebrate each member's birthday.
She and her husband were part of the original saddle club of Brookings, called the Chetco Wranglers. They shared their love of horses with co-members Ted and Doris Freeman. The club created a short-lived rodeo where the Elks Lodge is now located.
The Crooks were members of the original square dancing club in Brookings called the Swingeroos. They also enjoyed all the dances at Chetco Grange Hall and Elks with their friends.
The couple had been married 42 years at the time of Mr. Crook's accidental death in August 1975.
Mrs. Crook was employed as a bookkeeper during her working years. She was a charter member of Trinity Lutheran Church, and served in vacation Bible school.
She was an avid reader, loved gardening and grew the best roses, her family said. She installed a fish pond off her patio and raised beautiful goldfish. She became active in recreational vehicle travel and made many friends in the Sea Gulls' R.V. Club.
Survivors include son Donald Crook of Brookings; granddaughter Robyn Crook King and husband Bud King of Brookings; great-grandson Dan'l King of Brookings; former daughter-in-law Mary Lee Adkins-Tetz of Brookings; numerous cousins, nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her husband; grandson Joel Crook; brothers Ebert High, Lynn High and Don High; and sisters Frances Cooper and Mae High.
Memorials may be made to Chetco Valley Historical Society Museum, 15461 Museum Road, Brookings, OR 97415.
Funeral services will be at 1 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 14, at Redwood Memorial Chapel, 1020 Fifield St., Brookings. Dr. Gordon Myrah, pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church, will officiate. Interment will follow at W.J. Ward Memorial Cemetery.
