Charnelle Sara McCrea, age 70, comforted by the presence of her two youngest children, left us on Monday, December 5, 2016. Charnelle Sara McCrea was born in St. Louis, MO but lived much of her life and final years in Katy, TX. She was an artist, published writer and poet. She held two Bachelor’s degrees and a Masters in Art History. She worked as a teacher inspiring students to embrace their originality and express themselves through artistic avenues such as writing. Ever the free spirit, Sara attended Woodstock and marched on Washington. A mother first, she is survived by her three children, Sean, James and Mollie, as well as her four grandchildren. She will be remembered fondly by her children and godchildren for the endless nights of passionate discussion and debate held at her kitchen table and for the love and laughter that will forever resonate in their hearts.
