    Obituary:

    Zelma Lois Crow Leslie was born in Marshall County, Oklahoma on May 16, 1927. She passed from this life on February 8, 2018 at the age of 90. She was a resident of CARE Nursing Facility, Early, Texas.

    Mrs. Leslie was preceded in death by both of her parents, Claud Cecil Crow and Hester Jane Roberts Crow, her husband, Lloyd Kenneth Leslie, two sisters, Fannie May Crow and Vila Anderson. She is survived by two sons, Wendyl Keith Leslie and wife Carolyn Minson Leslie of Boerne, Texas, and Jerry Dean Leslie and wife Janet L'Roy Leslie of Brownwood, Texas. She also has five grandchildren: Keith Leslie and wife Pam Marshall Leslie of San Antonio, Texas; Dustin Leslie and wife Sarah Leslie of Boerne, Texas; and Brooke Leslie Anderson and husband, Curtis Anderson, of Sherwood, Oregon; Jeffrey Leslie and wife Tiffany Bradford Leslie of San Antonio; Jennifer Leslie Chen and husband Andy Chen of Mansfield, Texas. She has 19 great-grandchildren.

    Mrs. Leslie was raised in and around Marshall County, Oklahoma. She attended school in Madill, Oklahoma and graduated high school from Russett High School. She met Lloyd in her high school years. Upon his return from World War II they would marry in 1946. Their first son, Wendyl, was born in 1947 and Jerry was born in 1948. She and Lloyd would reside in Ada, Oklahoma and raise their family there until 1962 when Lloyd would accept employment in Duncan, Oklahoma. Lloyd and Zelma would move to McAlester, Oklahoma for a few years, move to Garland, Texas to own and operate a Sonic Drive-In and then return McAlester to buy country property, build a new home and raise cattle. In time they would move to Wilson, Oklahoma to do the same there and then move to Ardmore, Oklahoma during retirement years.

    But, being so far away from the rest of the family who resided in Texas, they would make other moves to be closer to the children and growing number of grandchildren and great-grandchildren. First in Utopia, Texas, then to Boerne, Texas. Aging and needing more support they would move to the Brown County, Texas area in 2005.

    Mrs. Leslie, in addition to being a wonderful homemaker, seamstress, and cook, also worked in several of the above-mentioned locations in the Department of Public Safety, Licensing Division. She was not only very efficient in her performance but was very people-minded and gracious. She was loved by her co-workers and appreciated and enjoyed by the public.

    She was a deeply religious person. She was a bible class teacher for many years and faithful in attendance and worship. She lived her life as a Christian, serving others. She was a devoted wife, a loving mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She was a member of the 4th and Stewart Church of Christ in Brownwood at the time of her death.

    Mrs. Leslie was loved by her family. She took an interest in all the children and loved talking with them. She was famous in the family for her chicken and dumplings. Everything she cooked was from "scratch." You could always find her in the kitchen preparing everyone's favorite items in meals. Cherry pies made the Top Ten list every year.

    Memorials may be sent to Cherokee Children's Home, Cherokee, Texas.

    Notes:

    Obituary:

    On Sunday, February 14th, 2021, James David Crow, age 27, of Brownwood was completely healed as he entered his Heavenly home.

    Funeral Services for James will be held at 2:00 p.m. Monday, February 22, 2021, at Coggin Ave. Baptist Church with Tim Skaggs and Keith Mask officiating; burial will follow at Eastlawn Memorial Park. Visitation will be held Sunday afternoon from 2 to 5 p.m. at Blaylock Funeral Home. Arrangements are under the direction of Blaylock Funeral Home of Brownwood.

    James was born on October 9, 1993, to David and Melissa Crow in Waco, Texas. Moving to Brownwood at 9 months, Brownwood was truly his home. He attended Brownwood ISD and graduated in 2012 with honors. During his childhood and teen years, he was usually found at the baseball field surrounded by friends. He proudly played baseball and football for the Brownwood Lions. He was the recipient of numerous baseball and football accolades. James went on the earn his Bachelor of Science in Finance at Howard Payne University, while playing baseball there until his health would no longer allow. James then earned his Master of Business Administration at Howard Payne in May 2018. While at HPU he earned several academic honors as well.

    One week after completing his bachelor's degree, he married the love of his life, Hanna Sweatman Crow. Together they enjoyed many priceless moments that will forever be cherished.

    Upon completing his bachelor's degree, James joined the Citizen?s National Bank family. He was employed there as a Loan Officer until his passing. In this role, James experienced many new things and met some amazing people who he held dear to his heart.

    When not working, James enjoyed time with family and dear friends, attending most any sporting event, especially a good baseball game but according to James ?there were no bad baseball games?. He loved attending social events in the community and just getting to know people, especially when there was old country music to be experienced. He was never seen without a smile that would light a room!

    James had an unwavering faith as he fought leukemia with grace and tenacious courage; he was truly an inspiration. James would tell you he was more blessed than he deserved.

    James is survived by his wife, Hanna Crow; parents, David and Melissa Crow; grandparents, Ronnie and Linda Johansen of Valley Mills, TX, Nancy Crow of Colorado City, TX, and Cecil and Sue Crow of Colorado City, TX; mother-in-law, Nola Sweatman of Austin; sister-in-law, Paige McLain and husband Douglass of Marble Falls; niece and nephew, Emerson and Jackson McLain; grandparents, Delton and Cheri Sweatman of Zephyr; aunts and uncles: Jennifer and Jon Seamanski, Julie and Robert Mercado, Laurie and Dondi Camp, Tracy and Miki Klempa. He is also survived by a host of cousins and several extended family members. James also leaves behind an amazingly large group of friends and coworkers who meant so very much to him.

    He was preceded in death by great-grandparents, James and Dell Johansen, Gerald and Zoe Northup, Verlon and Caroline Dukes, and Claude and Clara Crow; and father-in-law, Troy Sweatman.

    In lieu of flowers if you wish to send memorials, the family has chosen two organizations donations can made to in James' memory.

They work now for research and to provide bright spots to teens and young adults facing a battle with cancer.
