Read More	John "Jack" Francis Croker, 99, of Hubbard, Iowa, formerly of Colo, Iowa, died on Thursday, November 5, 2020, at the Hubbard Care Center in Hubbard, Iowa. Funeral mass of Christian burial at St. Mary's Catholic Church, Colo, Iowa. Burial in St. Patrick's Cemetery in Nevada, Iowa. John was born on February 4, 1921, in State Center, Iowa, the son of James and Rose (Hinsberger) Croker. He was educated in Colo schools. After high school graduation he remained on the family farm and was engaged in farming with his father. Later in life, John worked at several places, including twenty years at Gertrude Fellow School in Ames. John married Mary Katherine Ackerman on February 16, 1946. They were married 52 years until sadly, Mary was called home ahead of him on December 12, 1998. A life-long member of St. Mary's parish in Colo, John was an Honorary Life Member of Story-Marshall Knights of Columbus Council 12496. In his quiet and reverent way, John was known as a man of deep faith and fortitude. John enjoyed playing cards with his children and grandchildren, especially "500", playing checkers with his grandson Joe, watching westerns, especially those with John Wayne, and gardening. Most of all John was a voracious reader. There was never a time when John did not have a book by his side. John is survived by his son, David (Nancy) Croker of Colo; daughters Leann (Frank) Beavers of Collins, and Mary (John) Noonan of Cascade; twelve grandchildren; many great-grandchildren; his brother James A. Croker of Iowa City; several sisters and brothers-in-law; and nieces and nephews. In addition to his loving and devoted wife Mary, John was preceded in death by his daughter Linda Dunahoo, infant Frances Kay, son-in-law Greg Dunahoo, infant grandson Chad Ryan Beavers, his parents, brothers Vincent and Richard Croker, as well as twin sisters Coletta and Callista Croker. Known as "Jack" in his later years, we would like to acknowledge and offer our special thanks to man people, including Kristi Eley of Cedar Place Assisted Living in Story City, and especially the dedicated staff of nurses and care-workers of Hubbard Care Center who provided passionate care for John the past six years.
