Erma Crumrine
Erma Francis “Lawler” Crumrine was born January 5, 1927, to Marion Lewis and Luella Frances (Stone) Lawler in Hastings, Nebraska. As a young girl she grew up and attended school in Hastings.
Erma married Donald Richard Crumrine in Hastings, Nebraska, on January 19th, 1952, and the couple settled in Hastings. They resided in several different places including North Platte, Nebraska, New Hampton Iowa, Blue Hill, Nebraska, and finally Imperial, Nebraska.
Before Erma was married she worked for the cleaners and Workman’s Photography Studio in Hastings. After she and Don were married they started a family and in 1955 opened their own flower shop, Crumrine’s Flowers, in Blue Hill, Nebraska. They moved the business to Imperial, Nebraska in 1957, where they operated the business for 35 years.

She assisted with the Blood Mobile and was a member of the Women’s Bowling league in Imperial for many years.
