She kicked off the project earlier this year and hopes to garner support from the community to make it a success.

He died at age 95 in 2020. “I’ve grown up with this very patriotic sense, and Dad was called over to the Fort Scott National Cemetery several times to participate in Wreaths Across America or play the bugle call as they laid the wreaths,” Crutcher said. “One time, he had gone down to the J.B. Hunt Transport Services in Arkansas and played the national anthem as the trucks were pulling out with the wreaths. We got to know about it, and I’ve always wondered why it hasn’t been done at Mount Hope.” Wreaths Across America is a 501(c)(3) non- Susie Crutcher places a wreath on her father’s grave recently at Mount Hope Cemetery.
