Alba Jean Cross, age 95, of Kenosha, passed away peacefully on Sunday, December 9, 2018 at the Manor of Kenosha.

She was born in Kenosha on May 23, 1923, and was the oldest daughter of the late Stella and Louis Cross, Sr.  Alba attended local schools.

She was a member of Immanuel Baptist Church.  Alba had a deep and abiding faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and she often spoke of Him; spreading His word to others.

Alba’s hobbies included reading, traveling and watching T.V. and game shows.

She is survived by her two sisters, Lydia Stellato and Esther Zahn, both of Kenosha; a brother, Louis (Debbie) Cross, Jr., of Tallahassee, Florida; as well as many nieces and nephews.
