Patsy Gail Cross

Patsy Gail Cross, age 83, passed away on Thursday, February 19, 2026, in Millsboro, Delaware. Born in Lynch, Kentucky, she was the daughter of the late Teril Hunsucker and Mary Magdalene (Hogg) Hunsucker.

Patsy Cross was a kind, caring and giving person who always put the needs of her family before her own. She was a strong woman of faith who faced every challenge in her life with courage and dignity. Our Mother was a source of inspiration to us all and she will be deeply missed by everyone whose lives she touched. Growing up, Mom was always there for us, whether we needed help with our homework or just a shoulder to cry on, we were assured she would take it to the Lord in prayer. She was a strong woman of faith, and she instilled in us the importance of faith, family and friends. Our Mother was a true role model who we will forever look up to. Mother, you will always be in our hearts, and we look forward to seeing you again someday in heaven.

She is survived by her husband, Russell H. Cross, a son, Russell C. Cross, four daughters, Donna Parker (Kevin), Sheila Collins (John), Tonya Timmons (Charlie), and Fawn Howard (Douglas), two brothers, James Lee Hunsucker (Bonnie), and Rusty Hunsucker (Stephanie), and three sisters, Rebecca Lathbury, Tammy Lathbury, and Judy Mallinger (Carl).
