BARTLESVILLE EXAMINER-ENTERPRISE
BARTLESVILLE, WASHINGTON CO, OK
(permission granted)
She was born in
1918 in Pawhuska, OK, the eighth of nine
children to Luther and Lena (Dawson) Gibson.
She lived her entire life in the
Bartlesville/Pawhuska area.
Goldie grew up in Pawhuska and graduated
from Pawhuska High School in 1937, where, as
a lifelong music lover, her favorite class
was choir. Two days after her graduation,
she and R.F. "Shorty" Crume eloped to
Blackwell, OK, where they were married by
her longtime Methodist minister. Goldie and
Shorty lived in Pawhuska until 1942 where
two of their children, Carl Luther and Ruth
Marie, were born. Shorty's employer, the
Love Bottling Company, moved the family to
Bartlesville where sons Donald Gene and Burt
Martin were born. Goldie would walk her
"four little kids" from their home on Quapaw
Avenue to the bottling company on Osage
Street to visit their father.
In 1952, the family moved to a farm in Okesa
where Goldie quilted with family and
friends, canned the family garden
vegetables, churned butter and made cottage
cheese from the dairy cows, volunteered as
the voting inspector, and collected
Depression glass. She refurbished her home,
enjoyed visits from her grandchildren, and
entertained relatives and friends. After her
children were grown, she traveled with
Shorty around the Midwest and West and
wintered in Zapata, TX.
She was preceded in death by her husband,
R.F. Crume, daughter Ruth Marie, her
parents, and her eight siblings.
She is
survived by three sons: Carl L. Crume of
Bartlesville, D. Gene Crume and wife Shirley
of Guthrie, OK, and Burt M. Crume and his
wife Linda of Gentry, AR. and five
grandchildren: Carla Mantooth (Brooks) of
Havana, KS, Carole Tucker (Ron) of
Barnsdall, OK, Brian Crume, Bronda Williams
(Tyson) of Oklahoma City, and Kelley Crume
of Guthrie, OK. She is also survived by
seven great-grandchildren, several
great-great-grandchildren and many nieces
and nephews.
