Crums to celebrate 70th wedding anniversary

Otis and Mary Lou Crum

Otis and Mary Lou Crum will celebrate 70 years of marriage this month. Along with Otis’s brother George Crum and Mary Lou’s sister Shirley McCown, they had a double wedding on July 11, 1954. They were blessed with four children: James Crum (deceased), Sally (Tim) Tomcik, Janette (Monty) Harlan, and Nancy (Tom Bartley) Fortenberry. They have nine grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren.

Otis retired from Ohio Bell in 1992 after 35 years as a splicing technician. Mary Lou is a homemaker who put faith, family, and friends at the center of her life. The Crums are board members at the 3Cs food bank in North Lima, where they have volunteered for over 15 years.

They are grateful for the countless ways the Lord has blessed them in their walk with Him, and especially grateful for the loved ones He has brought into their lives.

Cards with best wishes can be sent to the Crums as they celebrate their 70th wedding anniversary privately on July 11.

Starting at $2.99/week.
