Leasi Carranza Crookshank

Leasi Carranza Crookshank was called to her heavenly home on Sunday, October 20, 2024, at age 84. While her passing was sudden and unexpected, those that loved her find comfort in knowing that she went to be with the Lord and has entered her eternal resting place. Leasi was born in Knoxville, Tennessee and was one of twelve children. Leasi loved her family greatly and she will be missed by the many people that cared for her so deeply. 

Leasi was a long standing member of Shannon Nazarene Church. She loved her church family with all her heart and she especially adored the children that attended on Sundays. Leasi's love and dedication to the Lord was not only shown in her testimony, but also in the way she witnessed to others. She was affectionately known by many as "The Church Lady" and she was always quick to share a riddle or invite you to go to Church with her. Her love for the Lord was evident in every aspect of her life. Her family finds comfort in knowing that she shared her testimony at church on the morning of the day she passed.

She is preceded in death by her husband, Robert Merrill Crookshank, her son, Kurt Rhoe Carlyle Carranza, her father, Robert Stevens, her mother Gertrude Stevens Johnson (and her husband Andy Johnson), her brothers Marshall Eugene Fox, Jr., Tommy Stevens, Billy Stevens, Eddie Stevens, her sisters Carolyn Knatcal Weissman, Mary Van Lieu, and Cathy Howard. 

In lieu of flowers, please make donations in Leasi's memory to Shannon Nazarene Church, P.O. Box 23, Shannon, AL 35142 or to your favorite animal rescue.
