James Arthur Crowe, 93 of Kenton, went to his heavenly home with family by his side at 9:42am on Sunday, April 23, 2023 at St. Rita’s Medical Center, Lima.  He was born in Garrett, Kentucky on March 8, 1930 to the late Algin and Louetta (Christman) Crowe.  He was married to Lois Marsh and she preceded him in death.  

James is survived by his son: Richard (Susan) Crowe of Tipp City, OH; daughters: Deborah (Don) Purcell of Kenton and Rhonda (Michael) Osborn of South Carolina; sister: Gladys Adkins of Kenton; grandchildren: Christopher (Rhonda) Coak, Brett (Brooke) Purcell, Tyler Osborn, Brooke (Jason) Marsico and Thomas Crowe; special niece: Lori (Mark) VanBuskirk and numerous great-grandchildren.  He is preceded in death by his son: Darrell Crowe, and his siblings: Richard Crowe, Lawrence Crowe, Mary Weller, Avis Smith, Mae Hampton and Goldin Bramble.

James worked for Tecumseh Products for 30 years as well as in the maintenance department at Hardin Memorial Hospital for 30 years.  He was also a member of the Kenton Eagles 2163.

James had a very strong work ethic and passed this trait onto his children and grandchildren.  His hobbies included playing cards and he especially enjoyed showing others his special dice trick.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations in his memory be made to the Kenton Eagles Children’s Party Fund, 10750 US Highway 68, Kenton, Ohio 43326 or the Lois G. Crowe Memorial Scholarship Fund at Quest Federal Credit Union.
