Mrs. Doris Troutman Crouch, 93, of Royston, GA passed away on October 4, 2023, at Brown Health and Rehabilitation Center in Royston, GA. Mrs. Crouch was born in Troutman, NC on July 27, 1930. She was the daughter of the late Francis Edgar Troutman and the late Ossie Cline Troutman. Doris began her work career at a hosiery mill stitching seams into nylon stockings. She also worked briefly as a bank teller. Doris retired from Wholesale Builder’s Supply as the credit office manager and co-owner of the company. Mrs. Crouch was a talented seamstress and enjoyed knitting, crocheting, reading, and spending time with her family. She was well known for her talent in the kitchen as well and supplied every family event with homemade yeast bread, chocolate chip oatmeal cookies and wedding cookies. Doris also enjoyed gardening and canned green beans until weeks before her death at age 93. She had a green thumb, especially with orchids. An active member of the Royston First United Methodist Church, Doris was a member of the Crusader’s Sunday School class, the Joy Circle and was the coordinator of the blanket ministry. She enjoyed music and loved singing in the choir for many of her 19 years in Royston. Doris’ legacy to her church can be seen every Christmas when viewing the almost 200 hand-beaded Chrismon ornaments that she made.
