Obituary For Ernestine Lola Cross

With heavy hearts yet filled with gratitude for a life well-lived, we announce the passing of Ernestine Lola Cross, lovingly known as Tina, who graced the world with her presence from December 4, 1949, until March 17, 2025. Born in Youngstown, Ohio, Tina touched the lives of many during her journey as a dedicated nursing assistant in the Palliative Care industry, bringing comfort and compassion to those in need.

Tina’s legacy of love will forever resonate through her family. She leaves to mourn her husband, Squire E. Cross, Jr., and her beloved children: Sonya D. Felder-Floyd of Youngstown, Mark Felder of Maryland, Joe B. Felder III of Youngstown, and Squire E. Cross III of Charlotte, NC. Tina's warmth was mirrored in the laughter and life shared with her adored siblings: Mary Rozier of Campbell, Michele (Thomas) Hight, Carla (Rev. Troy) Hunter, Jennifer Robinson, all of Youngstown, as well as Vanessa (Reggie) Hebron of Tennessee and James Edmonds Jr. of Pittsburgh. She is also remembered fondly by her brother-in-law, Roger Pack of Youngstown.

As we remember our beloved Tina, we also honor those who have gone before her, including her mother, Lola Edmonds, father, Ernest Rozier, and daughter, Joann Felder. Her spirit will forever be linked with her cherished siblings: Joann Robinson Stonewall, Patricia Pack, Judy Williams, Eugene Myer, and Vernon L. Robinson.

In celebration of Tina's life, a public viewing will be held at the Jaylex Event Center on Monday, March 24, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. until 12:30 p.m., where all are welcome to share in the love and memories that Tina brought into their lives.

Though we say goodbye to Tina, let us cherish the powerful legacy of love, resilience, and joy she leaves behind, carrying her spirit in our hearts as we continue to celebrate the beautiful tapestry of life she wove for all around her.

At this most intimate time, the beloved family of Ernestine “Tina” Lola Cross elected to entrust the Ministry of Comfort & Care and After-Care Arrangements to the J. E. Washington Funeral Services, 2234 Glenwood Ave., Youngstown OH 330.782.8500
