On Monday, February 26, 2024, our beloved Jaqueline Livingston Cross, 83, was called to enter into eternal rest. She was surrounded by her loving family.
She was born on October 17th, 1940, in Norfolk, Virginia, and grew up in the Campostella and Berkley area of Norfolk, Virginia. She was educated in the Norfolk Public School System and graduated from Booker T. Washington High School. After graduating Jacqueline became a Certified Nursing Assistant and devoted member of Tidewater Nursing Association for over 15 years.
Jacqueline was a mother to 9 children, grandmother to 24, a great grandmother to 44 great grandchildren, and a great-great grandmother to one.
A dedicated member of New Hope C.O.G.I.C in Norfolk, Virginia, Jacqueline found peace and purpose in her faith. She was actively engaged in the spiritual growth of her community. Her benevolent nature touched countless lives, earning her a reputation for kindness and generosity that knew no bounds. Whether extending a helping hand or simply lending an empathetic ear, Jacqueline’s presence radiated warmth and comfort to all who were fortunate enough to known her.
Jacqueline found joy in a variety of activities, including spending quality time with her beloved children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and close friends. She immersed herself in the wisdom of her Bible, dedicating her time to volunteering at her church and the community outreach center associated with her church.
Jacqueline really loved shopping, and collecting her fashionable hats, whether it was a baseball cap or an extravagant church hat that matched her suits. Her artistic skills through ceramic classes at the recreation center, afforded her the opportunity create master pieces that decorated her home, and she eagerly shared her gift with others. Additionally, Jacqueline cherished the opportunity to connect with her friends over the phone, engaging in lively conversations, and catching up on each other’s lives.
Jacqueline also enjoyed taking annual vacations and cruises around the world with her family and friends.
Jacqueline is predeceased by her husband, Emmitt Cross and sons Andre and Lanell Livingston. She leaves behind many who will always cherish her including, William (Beverly), Dorian (Calvin), Wanda (Troy) Adrena (George), Rodney, Paula (Kenneth Sr.), Paulette (Michael, deceased), bonus daughters Bernice Adams, Wanda Ferguson and Barbara High, a bonus son Anthony Cross, 24 grandchildren, 44 great grandchildren and one great-great grandchild. Additionally, she leaves behind a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives, Christian friends and associates.

When your mother gained her wings, she was rejoicing and praising God for preparing her room in Heaven. Mrs. Jackie was a very sweet God-fearing lady, who loved her hats! As you all go through this season of grief and sadness, wrap your arms around her loving spirit, reminisce about all of the wonderful times you all had together, and most importantly, know that she is always with you all. I pray for comfort as you all go through this season. I love you all!

March 2, 2024 at 10:23 amCondolences to the Cross-Livingston Family. Your mom was A Very Special Woman of God. I met your mom when she started doing Ceramics at the Southside Senior Center. She was working on a Special Bible Piece and when she finished it, out of the kindness of her heart she gave it to me. I cherish that Ceramic Bible till this day. Upon hearing of her death, I went and laid my hands on the Ceramic Bible and tears flowed. I’m glad I got the chance to meet you all Mom. I enjoyed our conversations and her Uplifting words. May God Sustain each of you all hearts.
