Mabel Crossman Obituary

Mabel G. Crossman, 90, of Torrance, CA, died Sunday, October 3, 2010 of respiratory failure. She was a special woman with a strong commitment to personal responsibility, a leader to her family and her community. Mabel took volunteerism and civic duty to new levels throughout her life, including roles and awards in organizations such as Job's Daughters, YWCA, Girl Scouts, Little Company of Mary Hospital and the PTA. She lived by the credo, always do the right thing, and instilled these values in her three children, Kasey, Craig and Candi, as well as her eight grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren. Mabel was born on February 7, 1920 in Glendale, NY. She and her husband of 67 years, Paul Crossman, lived a steady and stable life in the same house they purchased in Torrance, CA in 1947. She attended Queen's College in New York and graduated from El Camino College with an AA in History. Mabel is survived by her husband, Paul; her three children and their families. A celebration of Mabel's life will be held at the First Christian Church of Torrance on October 23, 2010 at 7:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to Guide Dogs for the Blind.
