Mrs. Rosemary “Midge” Crine, 81, a native and lifelong resident of Great Barrington, MA died April 23, 2025, at Craneville Place in Dalton. Born November 8, 1943, in Great Barrington, she was the daughter of the late Raymond Keefner Sr. and Rosemary (Decker) Keefner.
Rosemary enjoyed spending time with her friends and family. She could be described as a “chatty Cathy,” spending hours talking to friends, even in the grocery store. She loved going to movies on Friday nights and tag sales on Saturday mornings with her grandchildren, Coty and Shienne. She was always up for finding the best lunch spots with Gavin or a day of shopping, and she loved animals wholeheartedly.
Rosemary was most proud of her children and grandchildren.
Rosemary is survived by her children, Victor Torres (Anna), Derek Crine (Donna), and Nicole Crine (Steve), along with her grandchildren, Coty Pelletier, Victoria Torres, Mickaela Crine, Shienne Hendrick, Anthony Torres, Gavin Withers, and Amber Trudeau. She is also survived by her great-grandchildren, Mabel Eichstedt and Colton Humes, along with her brother Raymond Keefner.
Beside with her parents, Rosemary was predeceased by her husband Robert J. Crine Sr. on June 4, 2002. The couple was married on November 11, 1972, in Sheffield. She was also predeceased by her sister Joan Blodgett and her brother Ed Keefner.
Rosemary’s family would like to give a special thank you to Maggie Quigley, Donna Crine, and Terry Davis for all of their love and support. Your care touched their hearts. We will forever cherish the memories and all the talks that we had. You were always the biggest supporter of the kids and wanted nothing but the best for all of them. Your spirit remains in their hearts forever, and you will forever be missed GG.
