Obituary

STOUGHTON - Lucretia Lee (Katchum) Prust, age 80, of Oregon, passed away on Tuesday, April 28, 2026, at Dimensions Living. She was born on June 29, 1945, in Neillsville, Wis., the daughter of Glenn and Frances (Larson) Ketchum.


Lucretia graduated from Stoughton High School in 1963. On June 19, 1965, she married Robert Prust in Stoughton, Wisconsin. In addition to raising her family, she worked at the Ben Franklin Store in Oregon and generously gave her time volunteering at Oregon High School.


After Lucretia and Bob retired, they moved to Arkansas, where they spent 23 wonderful years before eventually returning to Oregon. While in Arkansas, she continued her dedication to volunteering, making a meaningful impact in her community there as well.


In her free time, Lucretia found joy in crafts, especially quilting. She was an active member of a quilting group. She also loved bowling and going on car rides. Above all, she cherished time spent with her grandchildren, who brought her endless happiness.


Lucretia is survived by her husband, Robert; sons, Paul (Melissa) Prust and Dan (Amy) Prust; granddaughters, Payton (Cole) Pieper and Kinlee Prust; grandsons, Evan (Leslie) Prust, Kade Prust and Easton Prust; great-grandchildren, Camden Pieper, Adaline Prust; sisters, Karen Baker, Cynthia (Terry) Dosher, Norine (Dave) Davis and Johannah Ketchum; brother, Glenn (Grace) Ketchum; along with other relatives and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents.
