Obituary

Nanette Lucretia Crossman, 84, devoted mother, grandmother, and friend went home to her Lord and Savior on Friday, February 1, 2019.  She was born June 14, 1934 to Edna and Franklin Hoy in Atlantic City, NJ.  Nanette graduated from Bloomsburg State Teachers College in Bloomsburg, PA with a Bachelor’s Degree in Education.  She taught elementary school in PA before moving to New York, Washington DC, and then finally to the great state of Texas. Nanette had a love of reading, Dallas sports teams (especially the Cowboys and Mavericks), music, contemporary art, cooking, travel, beaches (Siesta Beach in FL was her favorite), and mostly getting to know people. Her greatest love, though, was her Savior Jesus Christ. Her love of cooking, entertaining, and people led her to the marketing side of real estate and the title insurance industry.  Nanette was well known, respected, and loved by all in the North Dallas real estate community. It was her love of Christ, Christ-centered fellowship and people that gave her the most joy; because of this, she regularly opened her home and heart to all and encouraged her children Jaqua and Bruce to do the same.  Her house was always filled with people, and hers was always the house where kids on the block and church youth groups gathered. We all will miss her faith, infectious laugh, compassion, wisdom and sense of humor. Nanette is survived by her children Jaqua Crossman, Bruce and wife Alethea Crossman, grandsons Joshua and Caleb Crossman, her cousin Rayme and wife Elise Hazel, and second cousins Chris Hazel and Shari Hazel.  She was especially proud of her musically talented grandsons and the joy of music she shared with them. She had peace leaving this world, knowing that all of her family had placed their faith in Christ, and that she would be reunited with them all someday. Please join us to celebrate the life of Nanette Crossman at 2:00 pm on February 11, 2019.

    Many happy memories with Nanette and Jaqua and Bruce. Her laugh was infectious and she always had a smile on her face. She will be missed but I know my parents and her are up in Heaven catching up and laughing. Love to the family.

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"
