Obituary
Walter Embry Crenshaw, Jr. was the first child born to the late Walter Craig and Arlena Lockhart on June 28, 1941 in St. Louis, Missouri. He departed this life Monday morning January 5, 2014 at 7:59am and woke up in the room he claimed in Glory. The Lord allowed him to walk, talk, love, and share with us for 73 years.
Walter accepted Christ at an early age and united with a Methodist church in Covington, TN. Later, after moving to Natchitoches he united with the Shady Grove Missionary Baptist Church where he served as a Deacon.
He attended school in Covington, Tennessee and Houston, Texas. He also attended college at Prairie View A&M. Later, he joined the United States Army where he served four years.
On January 18, 1969, Walter married Earlee Lynch in Shady Grove at the home of Victor and Ada Rachal. To this union, one child was added.
Walter began his career as an Insurance Salesman with Mutual and United of Omaha. Years later he left there and went to work for Weyerhaeuser. He retired from Weyerhaeuser with over 20 years of service.
Preceding him in death were: his grandmother, Mattie Crenshaw; grandfather, Junie Crenshaw; father, Walter Embry Craig; and stepmother, Jessie Lee Craig.
