Obituary

Tirsa Croy, beloved mother, daughter, grandmother, great-grandmother, and wife of the late Henry Glenn Croy, passed away peacefully on October 5, 2026, at her home in Smith River, CA, surrounded by her loved ones.
Born and raised in Mexico, Tirsa later made Smith River, CA, her home, where she built a life centered around her family, her Catholic faith, and her dedication to caring for and helping others.
Tirsa devoted much of her life to nursing and serving her community. Throughout her career at Seaside Hospital, Sutter Health, and Open Door Community Health Center, she cared for countless patients and families in various nursing roles, including as a Labor and Delivery nurse. She especially cherished helping mothers and welcoming babies into the world. Her compassion, kindness, and dedication touched countless lives and made her a beloved member of her community.
Her Catholic faith was an important part of her life, providing her with strength, comfort, and guidance.
Above all, Tirsa’s greatest joy was her family. She was deeply loved by her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. She especially enjoyed spending quality time with her loved ones—gathering for holidays, sharing family dinners, eating out together, and simply enjoying being together. Tirsa also found joy in crocheting, baking, gardening, listening to music, and shopping. These simple pleasures, along with time spent with the people she loved, brought her great happiness.
She is survived by her beloved daughters, Maria Del Carmen Fong-Chavez, Tirsa Gabriella Fong, and Carla Susan Perez, along with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who brought her immense joy and will continue to carry her memory in their hearts.
Her family, friends, coworkers, and all those who had the privilege of knowing her will remember her beautiful heart, gentle spirit, generosity, and the love she so freely gave to those around her.
Tirsa’s legacy will live on through the people she loved, the families she cared for, the babies she helped bring into the world, and the community she served so faithfully.
She will be forever loved, remembered, and missed.

Nacida y criada en México, Tirsa posteriormente hizo de Smith River, CA, su hogar, donde construyó una vida centrada en su familia, su fe católica y su dedicación a cuidar y ayudar a los demás.
Tirsa dedicó gran parte de su vida a la enfermería y al servicio de su comunidad.

Por encima de todo, la mayor alegría de Tirsa era su familia. Fue profundamente amada por sus hijos, nietos y bisnietos. Disfrutaba especialmente pasar tiempo de calidad con sus seres queridos: reunirse durante las fiestas, compartir cenas familiares, salir a comer juntos y simplemente disfrutar de estar en compañía de su familia. Tirsa también encontraba felicidad en tejer a crochet, hornear, cuidar su jardín, escuchar música y salir de compras. Estos pequeños placeres, junto con el tiempo que compartía con las personas que amaba, le brindaban una gran felicidad.
Le sobreviven sus queridas hijas, María del Carmen Fong-Chavez, Tirsa Gabriella Fong y Carla Susan Perez, junto con sus nietos y bisnietos, quienes le brindaron una inmensa alegría y continuarán llevando su recuerdo en sus corazones.
Su familia, amigos, compañeros de trabajo y todos aquellos que tuvieron la dicha de conocerla recordarán su hermoso corazón, su espíritu bondadoso, su generosidad y el amor que siempre brindó a quienes la rodeaban.
El legado de Tirsa vivirá a través de las personas que amó, las familias que cuidó, los bebés que ayudó a traer al mundo y la comunidad a la que sirvió con tanta dedicación.
Será amada, recordada y extrañada por siempre.
