Christ, on April 11, 2020. She passed away peacefully at Baptist Reynolds

Baskin, who preceded her in death. Together they raised three children
who were her pride and joy.

yard sale and was always on the hunt for a bargain. She was a regular at
Tops Barbeque every Sunday afternoon after church. She was also known
to love any kind of ice cream.

50 years. Later, she joined Graham Heights Baptist Church, which
changed to Still Waters Baptist Church when it moved to Eads, Tennessee.

and Lisa Bailey (Tom); grandchildren Ashley Roebuck (Randy) and Emily
Bock, Mark and Matthew Bailey; great-grandchildren Kaylee and Jace
Roebuck.
She also leaves her brother G.A. Crosby (Jackie) and numerous nieces and
nephews.
She will be laid to rest at a private graveside service at Forest Hill
Memorial Park East on Saturday, April 18 .
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that a memorial donation be made in her
name to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital or the charity of the donor's choice
