     Melvin Eugene Crutcher On October 12, 2021, Rusty/Fuzzy Crutcher (Melvin Eugene Crutcher) made the journey to heaven, where he will see his wife, Betty, of 72 years again, who passed in 2020. Fuzzy or Rusty as he was known, was a Father, Grandfather and Great-Grandfather. Rusty left home at a very young age seeking a better life, joining the US Navy. He served on the USS Barnett during World War II. In 1988 he retired from Airline TV where he was the co-owner with his brother Bill Crutcher for over 30 years. Fuzzy managed 3 gardens over 70 years and enjoyed the fruits of his harvest. He and Betty grew their own food and loved canning, under every bed throughout the house multiple jars of green beans, tomatoes, and pickles could be found. Fuzzy has missed his wife Betty very much over this last 18 months. During their life together, they ran a successful business, raised three wonderful daughters, and gardened every day. He joins her in heaven, where we pray, she has asked the good lord to forgive him, and let him in the gates. You see, Betty was a devoted member of the church and the family had no worries that she would get in, but Fuzzy was another story. He was a bit of a rascal, a bit of a jokester, and was most definitely set in his ways. All kidding aside, those two were the most fantastic couple you could know. Family came first always, faith, laughter, and family again. Fuzzy could always be counted on by family and friends to fix anything…sometimes he had to improvise. He was often called upon for electrical repairs, where tape, a rubber band and maybe glue was used for the fix. Or maybe it was a paint job, where he showed up with paint brushes 30 years old and convinced everyone on the job that the brushes were still good. The most egregious undertaking was watching him fix a TV, and we remind you of course that this was his business for over 30 years, where maybe a pat or two to the side of the TV was needed for the fix. Rusty had a love of women’s sports, no surprise as he was surrounded by women, his daughters and granddaughters. He could be found on any Sunday watching women’s golf, basketball and supporting local softball games. We hope what you gather from these brief paragraphs, is that no one is perfect in this world, but what we all have is the ability to laugh and love. Fuzzy would absolutely love this obituary, never one for crying and lots of sap, always in the mood for a laugh, and always living by his motto, “don’t tell everyone everything about yourself, it’s boring.” He goes to heaven, with Betty waiting, where no doubt those two will watch over all of us and send a little nudge our way every now and then when we get out of line. Fuzzy is survived by daughters Linda Richardson with husband Phil Richardson, Pat Holley with husband Mike Holley Sr., and Jan Perry whose husband Steven Perry recently passed in 2020. Granddaughters, Amber and Patrick Murray, Amy Morris with husband Ryan Morris, Allison Hood with husband Chris Hood, and Carrie Evans with husband David Evans. Great-Grandchildren Brianna and Rhiannon Murray, Kekoa and Kaylena Hood, Kiersten and Bella Holley, Alex, Zoey and Ayden Evans, Augie and Allie June Morris. Those left to cherish his memory include his sister Janice Hedgepeth, and brother Gerald Crutcher, and sister-in-law Donna Morgan Barham. Fuzzy is predeceased in death by his brothers Tommy Crutcher, Bill Crutcher and sisters Bobby Morgan, Johnnie Coffey, and Dianne South.

Janice spent her life dedicated to family and proudly held many titles; mom, wife, sister, aunt, grandma, and me-maw to name a few. Her true passion was watching the growth of her family and celebrating the successes of loved ones. Spending time together or chatting on the phone were amongst her favorite activities.
