Dwain and Karyl (Sousley) Crawford are celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary. They were married by the Reverend Dr. Ralph Quellhorst on September 12, 1964 at Emmanuel United Church of Christ Bluffton, Ohio.

The Crawford’s have two daughters: Lisa Crawford of Findlay, Ohio and Lori (John) Pletcher of Waynesfield, Ohio. They are the proud grandparents of two grandchildren and two great- grandchildren.

Dwain retired from Ford-Lima Engine Plant and Karyl retired from the Bluffton University Library. They were sweethearts while attending Beaverdam High School and purchased their small farm just a few years after marrying. They've loved their time there farming and woodworking (Dwain) and flower gardening/landscaping (Karyl).  

They have been enjoying a special September of family meals, hosted in their honor.
