Shirley Marie Crum,
76, of Watertown, WI (formerly of Jackson Ave., Huntington), went home to be
with her Savior April 26, 2014, at Marquardt Health Center. A celebration of
her life took place at Calvary Baptist Church of Watertown April 29. Family

Shirley was born May 28, 1937, in Huntington, a daughter of the late Frances
Earl and Mary Pauline (Wallace) Houchin. She married Myles “MT” Crum Jr. on
September 2, 1955. Shirley was a graduate of Vinson High School and Marshall
University, earning a bachelor’s degree in home economics. She was a member
of Grace Gospel Church, where she taught Sunday School. Prior to being
diagnosed with MS, she worked briefly at the Job Corp. Her 58-year battle
with MS earned the admiration and respect of many. She is survived by her

Spring Hill, FL, and granddaughter, Ciara Goethels; son Jeffrey (Kelly) Crum
of Juneau, WI, and grandsons Jonathan, Andrew, Benjamin and Michael; two

nephews; and many friends. The family appreciates the care provided by the
staff of Hospice, Marquardt, Angels on Earth, and many friends. Christian
radio was Shirley’s constant companion. Please honor her with a generous
designated gift to VCY radio, Milwaukee, WI. Pederson-Nowatka Funeral Home
is caring for the family.
