Patricia Ann (Taylor) Crosby

Mrs. Patricia Ann “Pat” Taylor Crosby, 73, of Mershon, passed away Sunday evening, January 4, 2026, at Hospice Satilla Hospice House in Waycross.

Born in Alma, GA on September 16, 1952, she had lived in Bacon Co, graduating from Bacon Co High School, before moving to Pierce Co in 1979, after marrying the love of her life, Frank Crosby. She had done secretarial work for Oxford Coat Factory and Farmers & Builders Supply for many years before becoming an engineering clerk for Satilla REMC, from which she would retire after more than 25 years of service when her health began to decline.  Her love for everyone, especially the children, was shown by the work she did with the church youth group.  She loved singing and in her spare time, she could be found dabbling in photography and cross-stitching.  Mrs. Crosby spent many years serving at Bristol Baptist Church before moving her membership to Mershon Baptist Church.  She will be remembered as a loving and devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend.

She was a daughter of the late Estell J. & Lutricel Taylor Taylor.  She was also preceded in death by an infant son, Casey Crosby; a sister, Reba Joyce Taylor; and two brothers, Benny Taylor and David Taylor.

Survivors include her husband of 47 years, Franklin “Frank” Crosby of Mershon; a son and daughter-in-law, Jason & Sumae Jordan of Blackshear; a brother, Harold Taylor of Alma; 4 grandchildren, Serena (Jacob) Sanchez, Matthew (Maria) Reyes, Naila Jordan, and Kolby Jordan; 4 great-grandchildren, with #5 due in February; and several nieces, nephews, and other relatives.
