| 1051 | Obituary: Funeral services for Pete Edward Crnkovic, 91, will be held on Saturday, October 15, 2022 at 10:00 a.m. at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church in Shreveport, Louisiana. Burial will follow at St. Ann's Cemetery in Stonewall, Louisiana. A visitation will be held Friday, October 14, 2022 from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. with a Rosary at 6:15 p.m. in the Chapel of Rose-Neath Funeral Home, 2500 Southside Drive, Shreveport, Louisiana. Officiating the service will be Father Patrick Madden. Officiating the interment will be Father Richard Morsworthy at 3:00 p.m. at St. Ann's Cemetery in Stonewall, Louisiana. Pete was born on March 11, 1931 to Ed Slavko Crnkovic and Frazine Ebarb Crnkovic in Zwolle, Louisiana and passed away on Tuesday, October 11, 2022 in Shreveport. Pete graduated from Zwolle High School. He was married to Irene Cain Crnkovic for 50+ years and later married to Nell Alford Crnkovic. Pete served in the Air Force and was a Korean War Veteran. He worked as a Shreveport trolley driver. He was employed at the TJ Moss Crosstie Company and retired from the Finance Department at the United States Postal Service in Shreveport. Pete loved to fish, loved the Dallas Cowboys, the New Orleans Saints and the LSU Tigers. He was a great caregiver, had many friends (and no enemies that anyone could think of) and loved his brothers and sisters. Anytime the Crnkovic clan gathered in Zwolle for a family reunion, lots of childhood memories were re-lived and laughter could be heard all the way to Toledo Bend. Pete was gifted with the Crnkovic sense of humor, a quick wit and never missed an opportunity to share a joke. He loved growing a summer garden, tending to his muscadine vines which he turned into jelly, and he could make a mean pan of cornbread. Pete is preceded in death by his parents; first wife, Irene Cain Crnkovic; daughter, Laura Kaye Crnkovic Fontenot; second wife, Nell Alford Crnkovic; brothers, Steve Crnkovic, Johnny Crnkovic, Joseph Crnkovic, Frank Crnkovic; and sister, Helen Crnkovic Byers. Left to cherish his memory are his children, Deborah Crnkovic of Frierson, LA, Paul Crnkovic of Chateaugay, NY, Jeff Crnkovic and wife, Jeannie of Shreveport, LA, and Brian Crnkovic of Shreveport, LA; grandchildren, Gareth Ricketts, Brett Ricketts, Andrew Fontenot and Hannah Crnkovic; brothers, Wilburn "Mickey" Crnkovic and Donald Crnkovic; sisters, Josephine Crnkovic Jones and Lois Crnkovic Foltz. Honoring Pete as pallbearers will be Gareth Ricketts, Brett Ricketts, Darren Hughes, Jack Hanson, Don Jones, Mike Jones, Rob Medlin and Kenny Grigsby. Serving as honorary pallbearer will be Duane Crnkovic. The family suggests, in lieu of flowers, please feel free to make a donation to the charity or church of your choice.

| 1068 | Obituary: Funeral services for Wilton Chaloupka, 91, of Cooks Point, were held at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, June 24, 1998, at Cooks Point Brethren Church with Rev. Norman Haisler, Sr., officiating. Burial followed in the Cooks Point Cemetery. Mr. Chaloupka died Monday, June 22, 1998 in College Station. Wilton Walter Chaloupka the oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Joe T. Chaloupka, was born September 5, 1906. Wilton attended Liberty School (grades 1-7) and Caldwell High School. He did not graduate because it was in the best interest of his family to work the crops. He was baptized and confirmed in 1923 at New Tabor by Rev. Motycka. He served his country in the United States Army from 1925-1928. He worked the Santa Fe Railroad and Surovik Drugstore in Caldwell before moving to Cooks Point. He served on the Board of Directors of the Burleson County Soil and Water Conservation District for 25 years, 12 of those as chairman. He and Libby donated the current Soil and Water Conservation District offices in Caldwell. Their reason for giving? Simply to return to the community some of the gifts with which God had blessed them. He was a trustee of the Cooks Point school for a number of years, served on the board of SPJST Lodge No 116, also as chairman. In 1956, he took on added responsibilities as a permit man for an oil company. In the church, he served as Chairman of the Board of Elders from 1939 to 1980. At the time of his death, he was an honorary board member. He held the office of Sunday School superintendent for many years, taught Sunday School, sang in the church choir, was a staunch member of the Men's Brotherhood and with his wife, Libby, served as a BYF sponsor. Wilton married Libby Drgac at the church in Cooks Point on November 12, 1930. For almost 60 years there after, they worked and played side-by-side until God called her Home on October 26, 1990. God did not bless them with children of their own, but instead gave them the capacity to love and befriend children in the church and community. In their time together, they fulfilled many hopes and dreams and laid the foundation for their future. They never doubted that God knew best. They served as living, breathing examples of Christianity at its best. yes, they talked to the talk, but more importantly, they walked the walk. Now, God has reunited them for eternity. Before her death, Libby encouraged Wilton to remarry. He honored her request and his second wife, Joe Akers, also preceded him in death. When the Cooks Point Brethren Church was established, there was no doubt Christ was the cornerstone and the foundation. The early founding fathers were the pillars of the church. Wilton and Libby Chaloupka, along with Emil and Olga Urbanovsky and a few others took the reins and became the pillars. For years, they were in the thick of things, giving their utmost for God's highest. Then, as years took their toll, they stepped aside graciously, offering their help and guidance to the next generation. In addition to his wives, he was also preceded in death by two brothers, Edward (Shorty) and Engbert (the father of Barbara Jancik and James Chaloupka); and an infant sister. Survivors include two sisters and brothers-in-law, Robert and Tracy Wine and Bill and Annie Lee Wiese of Caldwell; three sisters-in-law, Mattie Chaloupka of Caldwell, Naomi Lerret of San Antonio, and Lottie Drgac of Caldwell; four nieces, Barbara Jancik of Caldwell, Patsy Albright of Bryan, Johnnie Ruth Homeyer of Caldwell and Georgia Ptacek of Snook; one nephew, James Chaloupka of Caldwell; two great-nieces, Kathy Jancik and Krista Chaloupka, both of Caldwell; one great-nephew, G.W. Jancik of Cooks Point; and numerous relatives of his late wife, Libby Drgac Chaloupka. (Published in The SPJST Vestnik Herald on September 16, 1998) | Chaloupka, Wilton Walter (I2028)

| 1069 | Obituary: Funeral Services Held For (BB) Clement Funeral services for Anatole Clement, known to his hundreds of friends throughout this community as B-B, who died at the family residence in South Rayne Wednesday, February 3, at 1:10 p.m., after a long illness, were held from St. Joseph's Catholic Church Thursday, February 4 at 2 p.m. with interment in the adjoining Catholic cemetery. The body lay in state at the Ardoin Funeral Home until the hour set for the services. A large gathering of friends and relatives formed the funeral cortege which went from the Funeral home to the Church at the set hour. Rev. H. Lerschen officiated during the last rites, and in a brief address, spoke of the respect and esteem in which Mr. Clement was held by all who knew him. The remains were laid to rest in the family vault at St. Joseph's cemetery. Mr. Clement was a lifelong resident of this section, having been born and reared near Rayne. During his early manhood he farmed near town, later giving this up to move into town. He led a long and active public life, having served for twenty years as Deputy Sheriff of Acadia Parish. For fifteen years after that, he was Night Policeman of the Town of Rayne, and held an enviable record in solving robberies and crimes. His services were required in practically all cases in this community and his unusual ability in this line of work won much recognition for him during his long and useful period of work. He had been in ill health for some time and his death had been expected for several months. About six years ago, he suffered a paralytic stroke from which he never recovered, making him a helpless invalid for the remaining years of his life. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Odia Breaux Clement; five sons, Cleobule, Willie, Walter and Elphie of Rayne, and Anatole, Jr. of Lake Charles; and three daughters: Mrs. Elias Simon of Crowley, Mrs. Morris Henry and Mrs. Leland Clark of Lake Charles. Tribune takes this means to express sincere sympathy to the family of Mr. Clement. His death is a loss not only to them but to the entire town.
