Kelly J. Crouch

Kelly Jo Blankenship Crouch, 59, passed away on December 4, 2025, surrounded by the deep love of her family. She was born on August 25, 1966, to the late Saundra Beppu and Charles Blankenship. Kelly will be laid to rest beside her parents, returning home to them in peace.

Kelly was the devoted wife of Scott Crouch, and together they shared one of the most loving, genuine, and fun marriages anyone had ever seen. They were not only husband and wife — they were best friends. Their relationship was full of laughter, inside jokes, and a friendship that made their bond unforgettable. Kelly and Scott were the couple everyone loved to be around: real, funny, supportive, and deeply connected.

She was the proud mother of Dawn Crouch, Scotty Crouch, Kassidy Crouch, and Kaitlynn Crouch, and a caring mother-in-law to Tyler Watts. She was also the adoring grandmother of her cherished grandbaby, Banks Kyler Crouch, who brought her endless joy.

Kelly was a loving sister to Chuck Blankenship (Helen), Chris Blankenship (Cindy), and her younger brother Curtis Blankenship. She also deeply loved her many cousins, her lifelong best friends, and her nieces and nephews, who brought her so much happiness.

Anyone who met Kelly will remember her for her unmatched humor, her blunt honesty, her realness, and her ability to make a whole room laugh until they couldn’t breathe. She was silly, bold, and absolutely hilarious — the kind of person who left people weak from laughing every time she walked in.

Kelly was also incredibly artistic and crafty, with a talent for creating, designing, and bringing beauty into the lives of others. Whether through her handmade creations, decorating, or personal touches she added to everyday life, her creativity reflected the joy and love she carried in her heart.

Kelly was an amazing cook, known for filling her home with warmth, love, and unforgettable meals. She proudly passed her love of cooking down to her children, teaching them the recipes and heart that made her food so special.

Her presence made life brighter for everyone around her. Her legacy lives on in the laughter she sparked, the love she gave, the creativity she shared, and the countless memories she created with the people she cherished.

Kelly will be deeply missed, forever loved, and remembered with every smile, laugh, and creative spark she inspired.
