Marie Lantz Crews, 85, died
peacefully in her home in
Grand Junction, Colorado, on
February 6, 2017. She was
born August 9, 1931, in
Casper, Wyoming, to Peter
and Rubie Indergard. She
graduated from Natrona
County High School in 1949,
attended Central Business
School in Denver, and later
Arizona State University, where she earned a Master’s Degree
in Business/Education in 1971.
Marie married Clifton Crews in April 1953; they celebrated 51
years together until his death in 2004. From Wyoming they had
moved to Phoenix, Arizona, where Marie taught Business
classes at East High School and Marcos de Niza High in Tempe.
She retired in 1989, and they moved to Strawberry, Arizona.
In 2005 Marie moved to Grand Junction to be near her brother,
Lawrence Indergard, and his family. Her happiest years were the
last 12 spent here. She became a member of the First
Congregational UCC Church, where she sang in the choir and
served with the Shepherds. She believed in exercising, so she
made many friends at the Wellness Center.
Always cheerful and enthusiastic, she will be sadly missed by
family and friends.
She is preceded in death by her parents, and her brother,
Lawrence. She is survived by numerous cousins, nephews, and a
niece.
