Lee Trostle Crouthamel, 88, of Sellersville, PA, died on January 9, 2026, surrounded by his loving family. Born in Lansdale, PA, Lee was the son of the late Leo T. Crouthamel and the late Erma E. Crouthamel (Hershey). He was married to his beloved wife, Connie, for 66 years, sharing a life built on love, faith, and family.
He graduated from Souderton High School in 1955 and, following high school, attended Automotive Technical School. Lee worked as a mechanic at Amchem from 1962 to 1970. He later began his career at Riegel Paper, where he worked from 1970 until his retirement in 2002.
Lee enjoyed camping, traveling, and making stained glass art. Earlier in life, he especially enjoyed working on cars and spending time with his grandparents. In his later years, he found great joy in spending time with his family, as well as pickling and fermenting vegetables. Lee always held a special place in his heart for his family and was happiest when surrounded by them.
He was a faithful member of Deep Run Mennonite Church and Zwingli United Church of Christ and volunteered his time at Deep Run Mennonite Church.
In addition to his wife, Connie, Lee will be dearly missed by his children, Douglas S. Crouthamel and Carole J. Owens and her husband, David Owens; and his grandchildren, Michael Owens and Bryan Owens. He was predeceased by his sisters, Margaret Crouthamel and Sue Ellen Moyer.
