Alisha Dy-Ann Waters

Mrs. Alisha Dy-Ann Waters, age 55, of Hazlehurst, passed away October 12, 2025, at her residence, and was welcomed into Heaven by her mother, Mrs. Patricia Ruth Bennett Crapps, with open arms.

Mrs. Waters was born on August 18, 1970, in Bacon County. She was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother who loved her family deeply. Her children fondly said that “Na-Ne and Pa had an awesome marriage — a love like no other.” Alisha and her beloved husband were like two peas in a pod, always together, joined at the hip, and truly inseparable. She attended Phillippi Baptist Church, and she was a wonderful example of love and devotion to everyone who knew her. Her grandchildren were her world, and she cherished every moment spent with them.

She is survived by her husband, Larry Eugene Waters Sr., of Hazlehurst; son and daughter-in-law, Eugene (Roseanna) Waters Jr. of Vidalia; three daughters and sons-in-law, Toni Patrice (Chris) Mitchell of Jacksonville, Braxton (Jeremy Kersey) Livingston of Hazlehurst and Angel (Kevin) Kester of Uvalda; father, Robert James Crapps, Jr. of Baxley; brother, Robert “Jimbo” Crapps, III of Baxley; sisters, Michelle (John) Chaney of Green Cove, FL, and Dana Hallman of Elkton, FL; ten grandchildren, Kamden, Liana, Deuce, Emma, Layla, Raylen, Legacy, Emmory, Kevin and Tucker; and special niece, Amellia Bernal.
