Mary C Crosby

Mary Carolyn Crosby, 96, of Conway, NH passed away peacefully on January 23rd.

Born in Taunton, MA February 7, 1927, daughter of the late Edward and Mary Josephine

Cronan. Carolyn attended Taunton High School graduating in 1945. Later, in her 50s she went on

to earn a degree in business at Fisher Junior College. Carolyn enjoyed many years working in the

Public Relations Department at Morton Hospital in Taunton MA, where she made numerous

lifelong friends.

Following her high school years she met Arthur upon following a recommendation from her

father to seek car repair services from Crosby's Garage. Outgoing, vivacious, and chatty, Carolyn

was the balance to Arthurs level headed, hard working and no nonsense demeanor. Married

July 16, 1955, the pair were inseparable until his passing in 2009. Carolyn and Arthur engrained

themselves in the communities they were a part of. In Taunton, Arthur and Carolyn were long

time members of the Dighton Rock Grange. Later, when relocating to Conway in 1993, they

became staples at The Gibson Center. A devoted Catholic, on Saturday evenings it was most

common to find her at Our Lady of The Mountains Church in North Conway.

Lovingly known by most in The Mount Washington Valley as "Nana" she always priorized her

friends and family. Carolyn was truly The Valley's "Nana," talk to her once she would remember

you forever and be your biggest cheerleader. Never one to be short on words, she was happy to

share her wisdom and extensive knowledge that came with her nearly 97 years. A true force,

this petite 4' 10" woman was the matriarch to her family and for many, a mentor and

confidante. While she will continue to be deeply missed by many, we can all find solace in

knowing she has been reunited with her best friend and husband, Arthur.

Carolyn is survived by her daughter, Mary Ann and husband Rick; sons William and Arthur

Crosby II; grandchildren, Arthur Crosby III and wife Sara, Meghan Limmer and husband Trevor,

Caroline Fall and husband Kyle, Liam Crosby and Ciara Crosby. Carolyn is also survived by great

grandchildren, Arthur Crosby IV and Bailey Fall.

Carolyn is predeceased by her parents Edward and Mary Josephine Cronan, husband Arthur E.

Crosby, and siblings Edward, Corline, and William Cronan.

A viewing will be held by Furber & White Funeral home on Thursday, February 1st at 10am

followed by mass at Our Lady of The Mountains Catholic Church at 12pm in North Conway, NH.
