Suzanne Crossley Obituary

Crossley, Suzanne Kelly DELMAR Suzanne Kelly Crossley passed away peacefully on October 21, 2022, surrounded by loved ones. Suzanne was born in Nyack, N.Y. to Linda A. Kelly and Edward F. Kelly. She was raised in Syracuse and Albany and educated at the State University of New York at Oneonta. Family was the center of Suzanne's life and she was adored for her caring, witty and wise interactions with everyone she loved. She was extremely creative, enjoyed arts and crafts and any game with family. She played a fierce gin rummy and was eagle-eyed for those trying to palm the double five in Dominos. She loved to make fun of herself and taught her children how to laugh no matter what life throws at you. Suzanne is survived by her loving children, Christopher Crossley, Brian Crossley and Emily Crossley; mother, Linda Kelly; brother, Peter Kelly; sister, Megyn Kelly; and brother, Paul Kirwan; as well as her cherished grandson, Brom Crossley. She is also survived by several nieces, nephews and extended family. In addition to her father Edward F. Kelly, Suzanne is predeceased by her dearest nana, Frances DeMaio. Service details are private. In lieu of flowers, those who wish to pay tribute to Suzanne may consider making a Christmas tree ornament with their child or grandchild, or donating to the charity of their choice.

Suzanne worked for me in a childcare center many years ago . She was very talented, creative and I loved having her on our team. Often after the center had closed we would stay late and talk about worldly issues and share crafting ideas. She had me over to her home once to meet Megan which was a remarkable experience. Suzanne had a great talent for making clay figurines and I still have a family "portrait " she made as a gift for me of my little family and even our dog. She is gone way too soon! Sending prayers and love to the family.

I was so sad to hear of Suzann's passing. Though my husband and I only met her several years ago and only got together a few times with her daughter Emily and my son Alex we thoroughly enjoyed her sense of humor. We were looking forward to more visits in the future but it was not to be. Her daughter Emily is a delight to be around and also has a wonderful wit and a caring personality.
May the memories of Suzann be a be a comfort to her family and friends.
