Loventrice Crossley

Ms. Loventrice Crossley, age 77, of Vernon, AL, passed away Saturday, January 31, 2026, at her residence.

Ms. Crossley was born January 10, 1949, to the late Willie Aubrey and Eva Mae Simpson. She was a seamstress and worked the paper route for years. Mrs. Crossley loved and lived for the Lord. She was an avid animal lover and would feed or house any animal in sight. She could outwork anybody in her younger days, and was as fun as they came as a grandparent to her grandchildren. She let her grandkids drink all the coffee they wanted, taught them how to live off the land, and to work for what they wanted.  She was also preceded in death by her brother, Leroy Simpson, and two sisters, Katheline Bethune and Willie Mae Durette.

There will be a memorial service Saturday, February 7, at 2:00 PM, in the chapel of Chandler Funeral Home, with Bro. James Godsey officiating.
