Sara Elizabeth (Betty) Crosson, died on January 26, 2024, in Carrollton.

She was born in Atlanta on July 8, 1928, to Elizabeth Brock Upshaw and William

Candler Upshaw.

She was preceded in death by her parents, infant son Joseph, brother

William Upshaw, and husband, Dudley Lewis Crosson. She is survived by her

three children, Cathy Elizabeth Crosson (Steven Redick), Jane Eleanor Crosson

(Michael Dennis), and William Lewis Crosson (Elizabeth Servidio), by

Her maternal grandfather, William Jefferson Brock, was a dentist, Mayor of

Carrollton, and state senator. Her husband Dudley was City Manager of

College and the University of Georgia. She was a life-long avid fan of the

Bulldogs and Atlanta Braves, traveling to West Palm Beach for many years for

spring training. She also traveled frequently with friends to country music events.

Betty was active in the Carrollton Presbyterian Church, serving two terms as

an Elder. She enjoyed gardening, needlework, and playing bridge with longtime

friends in two bridge clubs.

Her family is grateful that Betty had a long life and was able to enjoy the

accomplishments of her children and grandchildren. They are especially grateful

for the loving attention she received from Cristy Green, her devoted caregiver.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the
