Aileen Roche Crocker passed away unexpectedly on February 9, 2022. She was born February 10, 1946 in Brigham City, Utah to Lawrence and Allie Roche. Mom met the love of her life Dennis Crocker while living in Alhambra, CA after graduating high school while he was at boot camp. They quickly fell in love and got married in Tijuana before Dennis went to Vietnam. They later married again in Las Vegas and finally in the Ogden temple where they were sealed for time and all eternity. Together they started their family of 10 kids. Family was everything to mom especially her grandchildren. She was always a safe place where you knew you were loved. Mom loved to decorate her home in the latest styles after watching endless hours of HGTV. She always had a weekend project or a wall to paint for dad or whoever was lucky enough to help. There was always a piece of furniture that needed to be moved by her sons or grandsons who were always so willing to help. Planting beautiful flowers in the springtime was also something mom loved to do, Aileen enjoyed watching the Utah Jazz play every time they were on t.v. and would never miss a game. She enjoyed many years of working various jobs and making new friends. She enjoyed visiting teaching with many friends in Mantua over the years. To know Aileen was to love Aileen, she was the most gentle, kindness, loving, sweet, understanding soul we knew and if you asked anyone who knew her they would say the same.
