Yvette Crouch
Yvette Crouch passed Tuesday, March 28 into the loving arms of Jesus, to join her mother, father, and relatives. She has touched many lives across the country.
Evie was born in Indianapolis on St. Patrick’s Day in 1956. In that era, children with Down Syndrome where commonly put into institutions. Her parents, Don and Paula Crouch, chose to raise with her at home with her three siblings. In Indiana she grew up with many cousins, aunts and uncles, and friends of the family in Indiana for 48 years. She is best remembered for her love of sports, huge sporty –shirt collection, and saving her mother’s life in 1976.
By 2004 both of Evie’s parents had passed and she came to live with Minette and Doug Hutchinson in Susanville and began her next 13 years as a CA girl. Yvette attended Lassen Life Skill for 13 years and North Valley Services for her last four months. Evie loved the many activities and especially Special Olympics. Yvette was always welcomed at Richmond School where her sister worked. Students were always excited for her visits, and shared lots of “Evie stories” with their parents. Yvette attended CEFC where she enjoyed the many hugs and bobbing to the music.
Yvette loved to travel. She would unwind after the long trip to Doug’s family in Yakima, WA with a few semi-cartwheels & a big smile. Evie also enjoyed visits to cousins in San Diego, Port Hadlock, WA, New York, Indiana, and her nephews Ross and Garrett Steensland in OR. Even though the annual 36-hour trip to the family fishing camp in Lake of the Woods, Canada was long, she never complained.
Yvette Crouch is succeeded by her sister, Minette Hutchinson of Susanville, and brother, Eric Crouch of Indianapolis. Her service was held at CEFC on Numa Street in Susanville on Saturday, April 22. Please send any donations to SAAC (Special Athletes and Activites Club), PO Box 3000, Susanville, CA 96130 in honor of Evie. The funds will be used for Special Olympics and local activities. Thank you, Evie, for being such an incredible part of so many people’s lives.
