Dedicated to Patricia Meredith Crotty January 29, 1940 – April 13, 2025

Patty Meredith Crotty was born January 29, 1940, in Rich Creek, Virginia to the parents of Joseph and Irene Meredith. She was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend. She passed away peacefully at the age of 85 after a courageous battle with dementia. Patty lived a life full of love and generosity. She married her husband Cecil Crotty on April 7, 1979. They later adopted their son Rick, forming a deeply bonded and loving family. After Cecil’s passing, Patty opened her heart again by hosting international exchange students, who became part of her extended family. Even in retirement, she returned to caregiving, working in both child and adult daycare programs. Patty’s faith, strength, and joy in giving were the cornerstones of her life. She was a guiding light too many and will be lovingly remembered for her warm heart, gentle spirit, and enduring legacy. Patty devoted over four decades of her life to serving others through her work at the Celco Federal Credit Union in Narrows, VA. She started her career as a teller in 1960. As the credit union grew over the years and evolved into Celco Community Federal Credit Union, she became a Loan Officer and later retired as a Visa Coordinator after 43 years of dedicated and compassionate service. After retirement Patty continued her dedication and service to the credit union serving on the Board of Directors, and volunteering at credit union events. She worked behind the scenes along with others to make Celco Community FCU events the best for the membership. Her kindness and professionalism touched generations of members in her community. Patty will be greatly missed by all that knew and loved her.
