Carolyn Ann Cross

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Carolyn Ann Cross, who passed away peacefully at her home on June 7, 2026, at the age of 66. She was surrounded by the love of family and friends, uplifted by many prayers.

Born on April 7, 1960, in Providence, Rhode Island, Carolyn was a devoted wife, a loving mother and grandmother, a cherished sister, and a dear friend. She lived a life centered on caring for others, offering kindness, warmth, and compassion to everyone fortunate enough to know her.

She is lovingly remembered by her children, James Christopher Earnest (Jackie) and Amber Nicole Dutton (Jermaine); her treasured grandchildren, Sianna, Ava, JJ, and Jayden; her siblings, Tammy Boree, June Hunt, and Gregory Dionne; along with many extended family members and friends who will hold her memory close in their hearts. She was preceded in death by her father, George Dionne; her mother, Sandy Dionne; and her beloved husband, Cliff Cross.

Carolyn found joy in life’s simple pleasures—feeling the sand beneath her feet at the beach, enjoying a drink in hand, going to the movies, watching her favorite soaps, and cheering on the Florida Gators. Above all, she cherished time spent with her grandchildren, who were the light of her life. She had a joyful, unmistakable laugh that could be recognized anywhere, and a generous heart that always put others before herself. Her strong work ethic and dedication remained with her throughout her life, as she continued to care deeply about her work even in her final days.

Though our hearts are heavy with loss, we find comfort in the love she gave and the memories she leaves behind. Her spirit will live on in all who knew and loved her. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

“A mother’s love is forever imprinted on the hearts of her children.”
