Brittany Nicole Crosby

Mrs. Brittany Nicole Crosby, 27, of Canoochee, GA passed away Wednesday, April 17, 2019 at her residence following an extended illness.

Mrs. Crosby was born in Statesboro on January 15, 1992 to Alec Perkins and Priscilla Perkins.  She was preceded in death by her paternal grandparents, Horace and Dorothy Perkins; maternal grandmother, Jane Lutterloah; and her father-in-law, Craig Crosby. As a young girl, Brittany enjoyed spending time with friends, riding horses & 4-wheelers. In 2009, she was blessed with a beautiful baby girl, Brooklyn Kay Crosby. She graduated from Swainsboro High School as an Honor Graduate in 2010. Brittany was first diagnosed with melanoma in 2012. In 2014 she triumphally conquered her first battle with cancer and married Josh Crosby, the love of her life. While in remission, Brittany went back to school and earned her LPN. She worked at East Georgia Regional for six months before she was once again diagnosed with Stage 4 melanoma. Despite doctor’s prognosis, Brittany defied all odds and lived beyond the time frame they originally gave her.
