Keith Crockett Obituary

Jan. 9, 1925 ~ June 28, 2014
Our loving husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather and friend passed away peacefully on June 28, 2014 with his family by his side. Keith was born January 9, 1925 in Millville Cache County, Utah, to Ray Hamp Crockett and Camille Olson. He served in the U.S. Navy on the U.S.S. Maryland in the South Pacific during World War II. When he returned home from the war, he married Emma Joy Speth on November 22, 1946. They were later married in the Oakland Temple and has been an active member of his ward. They had 66 wonderful years of marriage. Together they had one son, Michael Ray (Barbara), and one daughter, Rochelle (David). Keith worked for the Ford Motor Company as a mechanic, and as a long haul driver for Beacons Moving and PIE Freight Lines. He had a lifelong love of cars and could fix anything. After retiring, Keith became an avid golfer and enjoyed traveling with his wife.
He is preceded in death by his parents, his brother Royce Roosendaal, and his sister Marilyn Raghainti. Keith's greatest joy was his wife and family. He always had candy in his pocket for his grandkids and was known for his homemade fudge at Christmastime. He is survived by his wife, two children, six grandchildren: Kimberly (Mike), Jennifer (Fletcher), Alicia (T.J.), Michael (Kristie), Kyle (Kristy), and Elyse (Bryan) and sixteen great-grandchildren.
All services will be held at Wasatch Lawn Memorial Park and Mortuary, 3401 Highland Dr, Salt Lake City, UT with a viewing on July 2 from 6-8pm and July 3 from 11am - 11:45am followed by a graveside service at 12 noon.
