Roberta P. Crenshaw

The greatest hope and the greatest honor for any activist is that others will take up the cause of their fight. By doing so they will forever keep our efforts alive and so shall we find imortality through your efforts.

If each of us can touch just a handfull of others who will keep our voices alive even past our earthly existance, then we may perhaps one day see the fruit of our long labors completed.

With Respect,
Jim Windwalker

I only spoke with Mrs. Crenshaw, once, but she seemed to be a very good steward of the land.She also had an energy for learning, I sensed. My stories of Alaska intriguied her. The Charro ranch is, in my opinion, one of the finest examples of stewardship in Hays County. She must have inspired her grandchildren to carry-on the legacy. Farish, Holton and Reed, Sorry for your loss., Regards, Ron

My greatest condolences to Lucy Hibberd. Her mother was as strong as Lucy is.

Cousin Roberta (Bobbie) who was my Mother's and Aunts first cousin and my 2nd cousin will always be remembered, as my mother named me after her. She was there for me and my family, and after my mother passed away, we shared a trip to Aspen that I have many great memories of being with her, as well as Lucy, and my Aunt, Joyce Kellogg. Cousin Roberta (Bobbie's) influence will be felt during our life time and will live in our hearts forever.

Mrs. Crenshaw ,Bobbie, was a caring person dedicated to Austin and all that makes Austin very special. It was a special honor to work with her in the '50's and 60's for the betterment of the city we both loved. Sympathy to her loved ones. She will always be with us.

It saddens me deeply to learn of the death of our Mrs. Crenshaw.
She was a "green activist" before it was chic to be one.She understood the importance of our native plants and not permitting certain developers to cover our world in cement and tarmac!!
Thanks to her selfless dedication to preserving everything that is good and beautiful about our local Austin plantlife, the joy of the outdoors, the wonderful trees and plants will be here for future generations to enjoy.

I remember "Bobbie" as the wonderful companion, wife stepmother to my Father and us for 23 years. She was generous, kind and respectful of all of our family. We were very close to them when my Dad got sick and shared many hours together. I will remember her for the love she shared for Dad and my family.
