Obituary
Kenneth James Croushorn, age 89, of Nokesville, VA passed away Tuesday, November 7, 2017 at Novant Health Prince William Medical Center.
He was born on January 13, 1928 in Nokesville, VA the son of the late Roscoe C. and Lyla M. (Sonafrank) Croushorn. He retired as a mechanic for the Prince William County Service Authority and as a part time farmer on the Croushorn family farm. He worked for Atlantic Research during NASA’s programs to put a man on the moon, and cherished his contribution to the space race. A lifelong resident of Nokesville, he was dedicated to his family, community and to his church, where he served as a deacon at the Nokesville Church of the Brethren.
Kenneth was a patient, soft-spoken man who cultivated a faithful life on the farm and with his family. He took pride in his bountiful garden, and was generous with its produce. He had a quiet sense of humor, and often planted sunflowers to spring up where they were least expected. He enjoyed softball & baseball, both as a player himself, and as a spectator for his children and grandchildren. He maintained a well-trimmed lawn, and received joy from the many kickball, baseball, and football games that it hosted. In his later years, he relaxed and smiled as his grandchildren and great-grandchildren ran in circles at family gatherings. He is deeply loved, fondly remembered and dearly missed.
He was preceded in death by a daughter, Wanda Ann Beahm.
Survivors include his loving wife of 66 years, three sons and their wives, two brothers, one sister, eighteen Grandchildren and twenty-six Great Grandchildren.
