Monita Renee Crosley

Our beautiful Monita Renee Crosley “Moe” or “Nita” passed away unexpectedly in her home in Greeley, Colorado on 08/29/2023 with her dog Bailey by her side. Monita was born on 03/27/1965 in Douglas, Wyoming to David Raymond Crosley and Charlotte June Harris. Father deceased, Mother still living. Monita graduated from Casper College with an associate’s degree in Social Work and went on to receive her Bachelor of Social Work degree from the University of Wyoming in 2016. Monita was employed by Weld County Colorado Human Services, specifically in the Child Welfare Department of human services, where she worked tirelessly for and with children and their safe keeping. She was truly a soldier for children. Monita was loyal to her belief in God, faithful to her church, Foundations Church in Loveland Colorado, and had been baptized on February 27, 2022.

She had many friends and other family that felt her loving heart as well. Monita had a fire for life and she lived it to the fullest. Her love was inescapable and she spread that love far and wide! It would be easy to say that her biggest passion in her life was helping people, which she made a vocation of, but also allowing her caring touch to family and friends alike. She enjoyed riding her Harley Davidson across the country side, rain, snow or shine she could be seen riding down the highway. You could always find Monita dancing, whether it was at the club or on the front room carpet. She danced and sang to all genres of music; dancing seemed to be one of her favorite things to do. Monita you will be truly missed, but we will have some peace in our hearts knowing you lived so fiercely!

Monita is survived by her daughter Muirenn Buckles, son-in-Law Joshua Buckles, grandchildren Kody, Marcus, and Thomas Buckles, mother Charlotte June Travitz, sister Paula Jean Crosley, brother David Wayne Crosley, step-sister Terri Ann Lesmeister, best friend and “adopted” sister Jacci Warne.

Monita was preceded in death by her father David Raymond Crosley, step-father John Ralph Travitz and step-brother Michael John Travitz.
