Katherine "Kay" Crall's Obituary
Katherine Elizabeth "Kay" Crall, 93, of Monongahela, died Sunday, March 5, 2017 in the Washington County Health Center. She was born May 15, 1923 in New Eagle, the daughter of George and Elizabeth Patterson Peters.
Kay was a graduate of Monongahela High School, class of 1940. During her junior and senior years of high school, she was a nurse's aid for the American Red Cross and later worked at Monongahela Memorial Hospital in New Eagle, in the same capacity. While still in high school and for some years after, Kay helped with the family owned and operated Peters Restaurant, which was located on Second and Main Streets in Monongahela. She later married Charles A. Crall, a prominent business man, who owned Crall's Flowers, a family business established in 1867. Together they operated the family business for more than forty years, until 1977 when they sold the flower shop, which still bears the Crall name and retired to Florida. Kay moved back to Monongahela to be closer to her family in 1988 after the death of her beloved husband, Chuck. Kay was a member of the First Baptist Church and a member and past president of the Fine Arts Club, both of Monongahela. She also enjoyed spending her time playing Bridge.
She is survived by two sons, Charles G. and wife Irene (Seraly) Crall of Newport Beach, California, Robert S. and wife Patricia (Fronzaglio) Crall of Monongahela; daughter-in-law, Terri (McCloskey) Crall of Dunwoody, Georgia; six grandchildren, Cassia Crall Goodrich and husband Matthew, Chelsea Crall Keagel and husband Michael, Robert S. Crall, II, Caitlin S., Elissa A. and Shaina Crall; five great grandchildren, Calliope Goodrich, Nolan, Nathaniel and Ella Marcoux, Lucas Keagel; numerous nieces and nephews.
Kay was the last surviving member of her family. She is preceded in death by her husband, Charles A. Crall who died July 27, 1988; son, James S. Crall who died December 6, 1996; four sisters, Helen Bosko, Margaret Power, Evelyn Stickel, Georgetta Dash; and two brothers, George "Butch" Peters and John "Sonny" Peters.
Friends will be received on Friday, March 10, 2017 from 2-8 pm in the Frye Funeral Home, Inc., 427 West Main Street, Monongahela, where services will be held on Saturday, March 11, 2017 at 11:00 AM with the Rev. Mark Schollaert officiating. Interment will follow in Monongahela Cemetery.
