Mrs. Crosthwait was my junior literature teacher in high school. She was always so professional and cordial. After I returned home from college, I had the privilege and honor of working with her. She was always a joy to be around. She was an inspiration!
When I was a supervisor in a local retail store, I would hide one aisle over and recite a sentence of "Life in the Woods". She would turn all around, looking for me. She was very impressed that I remembered that sentence after all these years. I told her that she instilled that sentence in me and I would NEVER forget it.
I know that many alumni from Osceola High School are saddened to hear of her passing. We, however, do realize that she is at peace and is in a better place. Memories of Mrs. Crosthwait will forever be in our thoughts and heart.

My heartfelt condolences to all family members and friends. I learned so much in Mrs. Crosthwait's ninth grade English class. It was a great class because she was a great teacher and actually made me think as most of the time I daydreamed in class.

The Crostwait Family,
We are sure going to miss Anna Beth, she was such a sweet lady
and a true Christian. Dwayne and Jennifer Lea both were saddened by her death, they were students of hers.
May God bless you all during this time, but just be comforted that she is playing the organ in heaven.

I am sorry that Anna Beth is no longer with the family she loved so much. Not only was she one of the best teachers I have ever known, she was one of the best people I have ever known. She was a good friend to me when I taught in Osceola and I have always remembered her fondly. I hope knowing that she is in heaven will give all of you peace.

To the Crostwait Family
So Sorry about Anna Beth, she was a wonderful person to be around. She was one that showed her love for the Lord in her music. She is going to be missed a lot in this town and especially at Calvary Baptist Church. May God bless you in this time of sorrow. My daughter was glad to be a student of hers.

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Mrs. Crosthwait. I had the privilege of working with her for several years at East Elementary School in Osceola. She was an outstanding educator and I admired her for her personality, her devotion to her students, and her dedication to her craft.
Early on in my tenure at Osceola, I had the pleasure of teaching her son, Jack, and I also enjoyed working with her daughter-in-law, Debbie. I want to extend my condolences to the entire Crosthwait family and will be keeping you in my thoughts.
Take care,

Dear Crostwait Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I had the privilege of working with Mrs. Crostwait many years ago at West Elementary. She was a wonderful teacher and I enjoyed getting to know her. She often joked with me about my naming my daughter after her ( I have an Anna Elizabeth that we call Anna Beth). You are all in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
Love to all,
Vonnie
