Charlene Kinler Crosser

Charlene "Bud" Kinler Crosser of Bedford, Texas passed away on October 2, 2023 at the age of 59.

Charlene Kinler Crosser was born on January 10, 1964 to Charles Joseph Kinler Sr. and Brenda Gardner Kinler in New Orleans, Louisiana and was the first of four children. Charlene graduated from Trinity High School in Euless, Texas in 1982 before beginning her career at American Airlines, where she dedicated more than 40 years.

In 1986, Charlene welcomed her only child, Kristie Lynn Cramer and in 2015 welcomed her first grandchild, MacKenzie Leigh Cramer. Charlene would welcome two more grandchildren, Mason Jack Cramer in 2018 and Marshall Scott Cramer in 2022. Charlene’s grandbabies were her world and she did not miss a soccer game or special event. She loved taking her grandchildren to the movies and buying them anything they asked for. Charlene was a devoted New Orleans Saints fan and loved to travel, especially on cruises. Charlene planned on retiring early next year to devote more time to help care for her grandchildren.

Charlene was preceded in death by her mother Brenda Kinler, brother Charles Joseph Kinler Jr, niece Kasey Marie Money, and godmother Doris Fuxon. She is survived by her father Charles Kinler Sr, step-mother Diana Kinler, sisters Karen Singleton and Lynn "Tina" Stewart, daughter Kristie Lynn Cramer, son-in-law Jonathan Cramer, granddaughter MacKenzie Cramer and grandsons Mason Cramer and Marshall Cramer, and two dogs Buster Brown and Scrappy Do. Also survived by nieces, nephews and other relatives and friends.

A visitation is scheduled at Lucas Funeral Home in Hurst, Texas on Friday, October 6, 2023 from 6pm until 8pm.
