ROCKINGHAM — Mrs. Jean Allen Crouch, 93, of Rockingham, went to be with her Lord on Tuesday, April 19, 2022.
She was born May 12, 1928 in Rockingham to the late B.F. Allen and Mary Elizabeth Allen.
Jean worked for 41 years as a sales clerk for Kay’s Clothes of Charm in Rockingham. She was very active in her community. Jean served on the Board of Directors for the Richmond County Community Concert, Mothers Against Drunk Driving, Keep Richmond County Beautiful and Christian Women’s Club of Pinehurst. She was also chosen “Woman of the Month” by the Business and Professional Women’s Club.
She enjoyed playing bridge and was a member of five bridge clubs. Jean worked for many years preparing lunch for the homeless through her church. The Rev.

She walked close with the Lord and witnessed to anyone she could. Everything Jean did, she did with the Lord. She was completely devoted to God and walked and talked with Him daily. Jean is now with God and His Son Jesus in paradise.
