Obituary
"I have fought a good fight. I have finished my course. I have kept the faith. "
2 Timothy 4:7
Irene Burrell Crumedy was born April 28, 1914 in Sandy Hook, Ms. To the late Calvin Burnell and Cardelia Ploughman. She united with Pilgrims Rest Baptist Church under the pastorate of Rev. Preston Booth and accepted Christ at an early age.
Here she remained until she moved to New Orleans and united with Beulah Land Baptist Church. After several years in New Orleans she returned home and reunited with Pilgrims Rest. She remained a faithful and ardent member.
She affectionately called "Big Momma" by her grands and "Mamma Rena" by her church family.
Sister Irene loved her pastor and members, and we also loved her. She was quite a loveable person and was ready to help any auxillary whether in word or deed. She attended Sunday School and Church every Sunday. She was a regular tithe prayer and a monthly supporter of the Building Fund.
