Sherrin Kay Crabtree

Sherrin Kay Crabtree, age 75 of Marion, passed away on Saturday, November 7, 2020 at her home surrounded by family.

Sherrin was born on April 3, 1945 to the late Frank and Mary Belle (Jones) Peters in Marion, Ohio.  On August 9, 1963, she married her high school sweetheart Bill (William) Crabtree in Morral, Ohio.
