LEGACY - OCT 2025
ELIZABETH ANN CROSBY CROUCH


ELIZABETH ANN "BETTY" CROUCH
COX FUNERAL HOME
BASTROP, LOUISIANA
Mrs. Elizabeth Ann "Betty" Crouch was born May 5, 1938 in Golden Meadow, 
Louisiana to the late Jefferson Crosby and Clementine Serigny Crosby. She passed 
away peacefully on Friday, October 10, 2025 at The Columns of Bastrop, 
Louisiana. Along with her parents Betty is preceded in death by her husband, 
James Clinton Crouch; and three siblings, Edward Crosby, Edna Callais, and 
Roosevelt Crosby.
Betty's life was full of love for her family. She had a multitude of hobbies 
such as crafting, cooking, playing her guitar, entertaining, and her love of 
pottery. Betty loved working with her hands and was naturally creative. These 
talents led her at the age of 60 to attend ULM where she fell in love with 
making hand built pottery. She was even chosen to go to Epcot in Florida to 
represent the state of Louisiana with her pottery talents. For the last 27 years 
she has touched many lives of people around the world with her pottery 
creations, along with teaching her craft and sharing her talents with others.
Betty was always the life of the party and as everyone knows she absolutely 
loved the attention! She was born in Golden Meadow, Louisiana and lived there 
until she was 18. After marrying James Crouch and travelling around they settled 
in Bastrop, Louisiana and made their home. She became actively involved in the 
community while also raising her family. She was a candidate and campaigned for 
police jury, published a Cajun cookbook, was a teacher's aide with the Bastrop 
High School Band proudly earning the title of "Band-Aid", and an active member 
and stage actor at the Rose Theatre. Betty was devout in her faith and a devoted 
member of Saint Joseph's Catholic Church for over 60 years. Her legacy of faith, 
love, and laughter will be missed by her family and all fortunate to have known 
her.
Betty is survived by her two children, Donna Spence and her husband Gene of 
Bastrop, Louisiana and Carson Crouch and his wife Rhonda of Sterlington, 
Louisiana; and a sister, Clementine "Tiny" Duet and husband Harold. She is also 
survived by her five grandchildren, Justin Spence and wife April, Miranda Harper 
and husband Chad, Derek Spence and wife Erin, Morgan Crouch, and Makayla Crouch; 
eight great-grandchildren, Cane Harper, Olivia Harper, Brock Spence, Blaine 
Spence, Phoenix Albritton, Aden Matthews, August Matthews, and Rylan Costin;
The family will receive friends for a time of visitation beginning at 2:00 PM

officiating. Committal services and burial will be at Memorial Park Cemetery of
