Mrs. Crossley passed away Monday, February 23, 2026, in Midwest City.  She was born February 2, 1941, in Talihina, OK to James Jay and Evelyn Ida Byrd Frazier.

A devoted wife of 66 years, she married Lee Colvin Crossley, Jr on June 11, 1960.  She was a Sight Manager for the Chickasaw Nation Senior Center in Purcell until her retirement.

Nina was a devoted mother and the matriarch of her family. She took care of all of us - if you needed anything, you called her first. She either knew the answer or knew exactly who to call.  She was deeply proud of her Chickasaw heritage and shared its history, values, and traditions with her family.

She loved sports and was a fierce competitor, proud of her accomplishments on the basketball court and softball field.  She rarely missed a game or event for her three children and grandchildren, always cheering them on with unwavering support.  Nina was an avid Oklahoma Sooner and OKC Thunder fan.
