Ruth Ann Stegner Crossett
Kansas City, MO - June 15, 1952 - July 22, 2021
Ruth Ann Crossett passed into the arms of Jesus on July 22, 2021. She was born to Ruth and Charles Stegner in 1952. Her siblings were beloved by her: Mary Gentry (sister), C. Keith (Irina), Ken (Shirley) and John (Karin) Stegner (brothers). She attended Bob Jones Academy then William Jewell College where she met and married her husband of 48 years, Tom Crossett.
She is survived by her sister and brothers, her children: Jessica Martin (Kevin), Lori Crossett and James Crossett. Her son, T. Lindsay, predeceased her and greeted her at the gates of Heaven on June 22. She is also survived by her wonderful grandchildren: Lily, Tessa, Asher, Makai, Ziva, Remy, Declan, Everly, Inara and Finneas (all Martins!).
What can be said of Ruth Ann? She was a daughter, sister, wife, mother (and grandmother) as well as a friend. From a very young age she was a Jesus-follower. She made sure her children knew Him, too. Her friends are too many to mention. Anyone who met her, loved her. She could have accomplished many worldly feats with her skills and personality. Instead, she chose to be a wife and mother …. noble callings!
At the time of her death, Ruth Ann was a member of Gashland Evangelical Presbyterian Church. However, she also leaves many beloved brothers and sisters-in-Christ at Green Valley Baptist and Frederick Blvd. Baptist Church in St. Joseph, Pleasant Valley Baptist Church, Liberty Christian Fellowship and Desperation Church.
Truly, hers was a life lived with great love. We who are left will miss her.
A "Celebration of Life" service is scheduled August 5, 2021 at 1:00p.m., at Gashland Evangelical Presbyterian Church.5. Stegner, Ken (1.Ruth1) was born in UNKNOWN. 6. Stegner, Jon (1.Ruth1) was born in UNKNOWN. 7. Stegner, Charles K (1.Ruth1) was born in UNKNOWN.
