Rachel Scaife Crosslin, age 79, of Shreveport, Louisiana, passed away peacefully on November 6, 2024. She was a devoted mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, whose sassy spirit will be deeply missed by her family and friends.

Rachel was preceded in death by her son, James Michael Prisock, her parents, James Elmo & Miriam Sansing Scaife, and her sister, Becky Scaife White, along with her husband, Stephens Marcus White Jr.
