Willits News & Ukiah Daily Journal, March 5, 2003, Pg 58

Carol Jane Crouch passed away on Friday, Feb. 7, 2003, at the age of 74 in 
Reno, Nev. She was born in Klamath Falls, Ore., and moved to California with 
her family. She and her husband, Bud, lived in Willits for many years, where 
Bud worked as a house painter. The couple has been married for 57 years, and 
has resided in Nevada for the past 20 years. Carol enjoyed nature, fishing, 
gardening, sewing, and loved baking. She was truly a special lady with love in 
her heart for everyone, and she accepted people the way they were without 
question. Carol is survived by her husband, Bud Crouch, and by two daughters, 
Carol Carraher of Bodega Bay and Kathy Gayski of Austin, Texas. In addition, 
she is survived by her sister, Shirley Wagner, and a brother, Willis Fales, 
both of Willits, along with several grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces 
and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents, Minton and Beulah Fales 
of Willits, and her sister, Arlene Hamilton. Tragically, her only son, Dennis 
Crouch of Santa Rosa died of a heart attack just two weeks after her passing. A 
memorial service was held for Carol at her home in Reno.
