Delores “Dee” was preceded in death by her beloved husband, James “Jim” Morton Crosbie, III, D.V.M.; her parents, Iver and Louise (Nechanicky) Sahf; her brother, John Sahf; and sister, Lorraine Habiger (Joe).

Dee was born and raised in Owatonna, MN, graduated from Owatonna High School, and went on to practice as a registered nurse for several years in Maryland. After meeting Jim Crosbie in Annapolis, MD they married and moved to Jim’s home state of Louisiana to open his first veterinary practice. Later, Dee earned a law degree from Loyola Law School and went on to become the first female Assistant District Attorney in St. Bernard Parish where she practiced for many years until her retirement.

Whether she was going to the beach for a weekend or spending time abroad, Dee loved traveling and toured countries on nearly every continent. She also enjoyed reading, watching the New Orleans Pelicans, staying on top of current events, and committing her time and resources to charitable organizations.

More than anything, Dee loved spending time with her close friends, children and grandchildren.
