BETTY ANNE CROSS, the wife of retired Harvard biblical scholar Frank Moore Cross, passed away yesterday. Jack Sasson has posted this note from Jo Ann Hackett on his Agade list.
I am writing with the sad news that Betty Anne Cross, Frank Cross's wife, died yesterday, apparently of a massive stroke. She died peacefully, with family at her bedside. Frank and Betty Anne would have celebrated their 62nd wedding anniversary this June.

Besides Frank, she leaves three daughters—Susan, Ellen, and Rachel—and six grandchildren. If you would like to write to Frank, his address is:
The Highlands at Pittsford, 300 Hahnemann Trail, Apt. 25,
Pittsford, NY 14534.

The final arrangements have not yet been made, but there will be a
memorial service for Betty Anne in Cambridge, MA, in the near future.
Our hearts go out to Frank and the family. Betty Anne, requiescat in pace.
