Lucille married Gordon Crouch on November 12, 1963, in Sumter, SC. Gordon was stationed in the Air Force. They moved to Aberdeen, SD and started a family. They had 5 beautiful children and Lucille was a stay-at-home Mom until the children were in school. She later married Roger Ackerman in 1981. They moved to Flagstaff, AZ in 1982, where Roger was a Welder. In 1985, they started their own business (Ackerman Welding). They retired in Laughlin, NV in 1999. Lucille later returned to Aberdeen, SD in 2005, where she spent her remaining years.
Lucille will be remembered as a loving Mother, Grandmother and Great Grandmother. She was known for her great sense of humor and willingness to provide a helping hand. She loved having her children and grandchildren gather in her home. She cherished those visits and spoiled the grandchildren rotten! She loved music (Elvis Presley & Bobby Darin), reading, cross word puzzles, playing Bingo and board games, bible study, rummage sales, and spending time with her beloved family.
Grateful for sharing Lucille's life are her children: Audie Crouch, Mina, Roxane Crouch, Aberdeen, Pam (Robb) Fetzer, Phoenix, AZ, Frank Crouch, Flagstaff, AZ and Gordie Crouch, Flagstaff, AZ; 12 grandchildren; 17 great grandchildren; brother, Kenneth Krenz, Rapid City; many treasured in-laws, nephews, nieces, cousins, and friends.
Lucille was preceded in death by her mother, Adeline; father, Kenneth; her sister, Helen Kolasch; and Gordon Crouch.
There will be a private Memorial Service (Celebration of Life) at a later date as requested by Lucille.
The family prefers donations in Lucille's memory be made to Aberdeen Area Humane Society, 2511 385th Ave S, Aberdeen, SD 57401. Lucille treasured her many cocker spaniels she had over the years.
