Jenny was born on November 15, 1929 in Winter Garden, Florida the daughter of the late Walter M. Dowdy and Annie Lee Dowdy.

Jenny was a faithful Christian, enjoying the services and Christian fellowship with family and friends over the years at Prestonwood Baptist Church, Prosper Texas, Ivy Log Baptist Church, Blairsville Georgia and Orlando Baptist Church, Orlando Florida. She leaves behind many friends from her attendance at all of these churches.

Jenny worked at various jobs over the years but was primarily a homemaker, raising five sons and one daughter. She loved to cook and sew and was affectionately known by a nick name, Jenny Go Go. She was always ready to go shopping and she and her husband loved to camp and travel. Camping in the mountains in the early eighty’s led them to retire in the mountains of North Georgia. They were always ready to tell you stories of their many camping trips and travel adventures, having traveled to all 50 States and some foreign countries. After the passing of her husband in 2018 and due to failing health, she moved to Prosper, Texas in October of 2020 to be with her Daughter Peggy.

Jenny enjoyed reading and working puzzles and truly loved all of her family, especially all the grandkids and great-grandkids.

She was preceded in death by her parents Walter and Annie Lee Dowdy, her loving Husband of over 70 years, William M. (Bill) Crenshaw, and her brother, Gene Dowdy.

She leaves 12 Grandchildren, 25 Great-Grandchildren, and 1 Great- Great-Grandchild, along with many nieces and nephews, other relatives and a host of friends.

Jenny will truly be missed by all who knew her but her faith and belief in the Lord Jesus Christ and  words from 2 Corinthians 5:8 that says, “We are confident I say, and willing to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord”.
