Obituary published on Legacy.com by Torbert Funeral Chapels on Dec. 24, 2025.
Janice Ann (Coe) Crosby of Magnolia, Delaware, passed away Sunday, December 21st, 2025. She was 71.
She was born December 12th, 1954, in Excelsior Springs, Missouri, to the late William Allan Coe and Joan LeVay Graham.
Janice worked at various home goods stores throughout her life, which enabled her to explore her love of interior design. She later moved to Delaware to be closer to her son and grandchildren, whom she cherished deeply. Selfless by nature, Janice was an active and contributing member of the Champions Club, where she helped prepare Christmas cards for hospitals. She also ran her own successful craft business and was exceptionally artistic. Her creative journey began with pressing flowers and watercolor and continued to grow into many beautiful handmade creations.
In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by her sister, Debbie Sue Karraker (Coe).
Janice is survived by her husband & high school sweetheart of 51+ years, Deric Michael Crosby, her son, Phillip Michael Crosby (Susan Mitchell Crosby) of Philadelphia, PA; her brother, William A. Coe, Jr. of Charleston, NC; and her grandchildren, Emmeline Crosby and Millicent Crosby.
Funeral services will be celebrated privately. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the American Cancer Society.
