Lonnie Ray Marcrum

Lonnie had to drop out of school in the fifth grade to take care of the family farm after his father passed away. In 1936, Lonnie married Laura Satterwhite, and they were married for 71 years until her death. Lonnie spent his younger years working at dairies around the Austin area. He later went to work as a mechanic for John Deere. He then opened his own Auto Repair business at his home on Goodwin Avenue. Later he went to work as a mechanic for the City of Austin. He retired from the city in 1984 as a supervisor for Fleet Services.

He is survived by his son, John “Kenny” Marcrum and wife Judy, four grandchildren, six great-grandchildren, and two great-great-grandchildren.
