Rosie was born July 26, 1939 to Florence Hader in Savoy, MT. She was raised by her mother, grandmother and her Uncle Clarence Hader in Havre, MT and received her education there.  Most of her working years were with the Telephone Company in Havre and Helena.

On September 14, 1963 she married Ramon (Ray) Crocker and in October 1963 they moved to Helena. During their 48 years of marriage they loved to RV, take cruises and enjoyed traveling to many places.  Ray passed away May 12, 2012.

Rosie was preceded in death by her husband, Ray, her beloved dogs, Angie and Gigi, her mother, grandmother, several aunts, uncles and cousins. She is survived by her close cousin, Dorothy (Phil) Berger and her family of Kalispell, MT, sister-in-law Juanita Calvert and family of  Vancouver, WA, brother-in-law Vernon (Karan) Crocker and family of Vancouver, WA.

A special thank you to Dr. Thomas Weiner and all the wonderful nurses and staff at the Cancer Treatment Center at St. Peter’s for all the great care they give their patients.

At Rosie’s request cremation has taken place and a graveside service will be held 1:00 p.m. Friday, May 17th at the Montana State Veterans Cemetery at Fort Harrison. A reception will follow the service. In lieu of flowers, memorials in Rosie’s name are suggested to St. Peter’s Cancer Treatment Center, 2475 Broadway, Helena, MT.

    Dorothy my heart goes out to you and your family. Rose was a wonderful friend and coworker. We had many fun adventures with her and Ray. I’ll miss her very much, but plan on seeing her and Ray someday in heaven with our Lord Jesus Christ.

    Rose was a delightful woman. We worked at Mountain Bell together, many years ago. I had several contacts with Rose and Ray since then. God bless you my friend.

    To Rose’s family
    I was so sorry to learn that Rose passed away and yet know that she is no longer suffering and is reunited with her husband and dogs. I met her about a year ago and formed an immediate friendship. She never complained and never had a harsh word to say about anyone. I will miss seeing her. May she rest in peace. God speed Rosie. With deepest sympathy Diane Pedersen.

    To Family of Rose Mary Crocker
    Rose and Ray are back together again! I was privileged to know and work with Rose at Mountain Bell in the ’70’s and ’80’s; she was always very friendly, very hard working, yet quiet and never showy, she was most enjoyable to be around. She and Ray helped me through some tough times in the mid ’80’s, and I could never really show my gratitude for their caring, tolerance, forgiveness, understanding, and help. Rose was the hallmark of what it meant to be a telephone employee, and a caring friend back then!!! Ray, and I even took a canoe trip together down the Jefferson! God Bless you Rose, and heartfelt thanks!!
