Obituary

Aline D. Crum
(February 18, 1909 - April 29, 2013)


Aline Dassonville Crum, a retired school teacher from Frankford and Barboursville, West Virginia, passed away peacefully in her Gallatin Gateway, Montana home on April 29, 2013 at the age of 104.  Aline Pearl Dassonville was born on February 18, 1909 in Spring Creek, West Virginia, a daughter of Henry and Fideline (Lannoy) Dassonville. Aline graduated from high school in Frankford, and from college at Marshall University. After receiving her A.B. Degree, Aline taught High School English at Frankford for 17 years before marrying her husband, Clyde G. Crum, in 1948 and moving to Huntington, WV in 1949. Aline then completed her Masters Degree in English from Marshall University and taught an additional 23 ½ years in the Cabell County school system until her retirement in 1974 at the mandatory retirement age of 65. During her last 17 years of teaching, Aline taught History and College Prep English at Barboursville Senior High School. Aline was a longtime member of the First Presbyterian Church of Huntington and in her retirement, until age 90, she volunteered many hours making flower arrangements for residents of the Presbyterian Manor Nursing Home. She served in leadership positions in both the Conference Club of the Young Women’s Christian Association and the First Presbyterian Church Corbly Memorial Class. She was a member of Marshall University Alumni Association, C.C.A.R.S.E and West Virginia Education Association. Aline enjoyed working in her flower garden and was an avid listener of Marshall Basketball and Cincinnati Reds Baseball games. At age 101, Aline decided it was time to give up living alone and she moved to Montana in December 2010 to live with her nephew. Aline was preceded in death by her loving husband, Clyde G. Crum of Huntington; two sisters, Marie A. Jones of Baltimore, MD and Verna D. Thomas of Charleston, WV; and brother, Paul J. Dassonville of Frazer, MT. Aline is survived by her nephew, Curtis (Karen) Dassonville of Gallatin Gateway, MT; and two nieces, Phyllis Dassonville (Richard) Berge of Bainville, MT and Janice Dassonville (Bernard) Long of Wolf Point, MT, along with three generations of grand nephews and nieces. She is also survived by numerous nephews, nieces, grand nephews and grand nieces of her late husband, Clyde Crum. Visitation will be at Chapman’s Mortuary, 2851 Third Ave, Huntington, WV from 11:00 A.M.-12:00 P.M. on Thursday, May 23. Funeral services will follow at 12:00 P.M. with Rev. Skip Seibel of the First Presbyterian Church presiding. Interment will take place next to her husband at the Woodmere Burial Park in Huntington immediately following the funeral. Memorial donations in her name may be made to the First Presbyterian Church of Huntington or to the charity of one’s choice.
