FAY CROSSLEY Obituary

CROSSLEY, Fay S. Of Westborough, passed away on March 14, 2026, from a decrepit body. Born in Concord, MA, to the late Anne and Donald Crossley in 1944. She was the sister of Jamie Crossley of Hudson, Dawn Nickerson of Toronto, Canada and the late Leigh Crossley; also the aunt to several nieces and nephews. Fay also leaves behind some cherished, longtime, wonderful friends. Fay was a graduate of Concord-Carlisle High School (1962), UMASS Amherst (1966), and Boston University School of Social Work (1977). Following college graduation, she spent a memorable year as a VISTA volunteer at a rural state hospital in West Virginia. After living in San Jose, California for several years, she returned to MA to work as a social worker, first in child welfare and then for 30 years at Milton Hospital. She had the good fortune to work with many unforgettable patients, families, clients, and co-workers over the years. Fay enjoyed many years at her cottage in Humarock, MA. In retirement, as well as continuing her lifelong passion for photography, she enjoyed tutoring several outstanding people in the English as a Second Language Program, attending the Symphony, and perfecting her skills in the game of pool. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be sent to the charity of your choice. www.concordfuneral.com Visiting Hours: Family and friends will gather to honor and remember Fay for a period of Visitation on Thursday, April 2, 2026, from 11:00 am until 12:00 pm, at the Concord Funeral Home, 74 Belknap St., CONCORD, MA.
