Dolly moved with her parents to Glendale, AZ when she was 12 and later graduated from Glendale High School. We loved to hear her tell stories of working as a soda jerk at Luke Air Force Base and later as a telephone operator. She met her husband Parker Crosby at a Gold and Green Ball. They were married in the Mesa, AZ Temple January 24, 1952. Dolly was a devoted wife, mother, granny, aunt, sister and friend. Together, Parker and Dolly raised their family in Eagar, and Phoenix, AZ.

Dolly was an active member of the LDS church, serving many years as a Relief Society President and supportive companion to her husband during his service as a Bishop. Above all, home was the place she loved to be and she was the best mother anyone could ask for. Her love for her children and grandchildren, nieces and nephews will always be remembered and cherished. We knew that we were her top priority. We will miss her contagious laugh, her newest joke, and more than anything else, her unconditional love.
