Carolyn Cross Obituary
In Loving Memory of Carolyn Ann (Hart) Cross
Carolyn Ann (Hart) Cross, age 61, of Baldwinsville, New York, passed away peacefully on August 23, 2025, after facing many medical challenges.
Born on February 12, 1964, in Syracuse, New York, Carolyn lived a life filled with love, creativity, and her own unique sense of style. She had a gift for accessorizing that made every outfit uniquely hers, and she shared her warmth and humor in the little things—like her famous spaghetti with “trees” (rosemary sprigs) tucked in.
Family was everything to Carolyn. She was the proud mother of four children—Jessica Meicht, Joshua Cross, Ryan Cross, and Michael Cross—and the loving grandmother of ten grandchildren who brought endless joy to her life. She was the beloved daughter of Deanna Anthony and sister to Patricia (Hart) Seely, and stepsister to William Anthony, Michael Anthony, and Melodyan Smith. Carolyn also leaves behind several nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, and cousins.
She was welcomed into eternal rest by her father, William Anthony, and her sister, Debra (Hart) Hier.
Carolyn’s love, humor, and sparkle will live on in her family and friends—forever cherished and never forgotten.
A calling hour will be held on Friday, August 29, 2025, from 4:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. at Newcomer Cremation & Funerals, 705 North Main Street, North Syracuse, NY 13212.
