Jean Croes

Jean Fraser Robertson Croes, 98, of Spartanburg, SC passed away Friday, January 15, 2016. Born in Westerly, RI, she was the eldest daughter of the late David and Jean Fraser Robertson and was predeceased by her husband, William Miller Croes. She was a graduate of Westerly High School and New London School of Business, New London, Connecticut. She became a resident of Spartanburg in 1965. She was a member of First Presbyterian Church and attended the Bible Alive Class. She volunteered for many organizations over the years including the Crime Prevention Council and Mobile Meals. She had a great love for the theatre and was an active participant in the Spartanburg Little Theatre, as well as other local theatre groups. She was well-known for her multitude of onstage performances and also for her tireless work behind the scenes. Throughout her life, she enjoyed traveling, shopping, golfing, playing Bridge and Bunco, and spending time with her family and friends. It has been suggested that the secret to her longevity was a daily dose of white wine and Cheetos. She is survived by her four children, Jean (Richard) Danfy, Meg (Doug) Smith, Bill (Karen Moore) Croes, and Kathy (Steve) White; her grandchildren, Chris (Bryan) Overcarsh, Jean and Emily White, Lillie and Will Croes, and her great-grandchildren, Charles and Emmet Overcarsh; along with numerous cousins, nieces, and nephews.
