Mayree's Obituary
Mayree Crossman, formerly Mayree Martin, age 96, passed away on Saturday, October 26, 2024. She was born on April 17, 1928, in Peru, Indiana to Donald and Wilma (Denney) Martin.
The family moved to Berrien County, Michigan when Mayree was a toddler. She attended several schools in the area and graduated from Saint Joseph High School.
Mayree loved dancing and big band music and won many dance contests. She had a talent for sewing and took pride in making clothes for herself and her loved ones. She loved the Lord and was a long-time member of First Church of God in Saint Joseph where she was a Stephen Minister. She ministered to patients in the local hospital and inmates in the Berrien County Jail.
Mayree is survived by her daughter, Gay Harrison of Saint Joseph, Michigan; grandchildren, Chad (Jennifer) Harrison of Mobile, Alabama, Heather (Ron) Steinke of Eau Claire, Michigan, Dylan Crossman, of Coloma, Michigan; daughter-in-law, Pam Crossman of Coloma, Michigan; several great-grandchildren who called her “Big Nana”; and her dear friend, Barry.
She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Arthur Crossman; and her two sons, Todd Crossman and Mark Crossman.
Honoring Mayree’s wishes, cremation has taken place. There will be a private family gathering. For a more lasting memory, donations in Mayree’s name can be made out to First Church of God in Saint Joseph, Michigan.
