Rebecca Crump's Obituary
Rebecca Crump was born on July 6, 1945 in Isola, Mississippi and was
eleventh of fifteen children born to George Washington Henry and Isabella
(Fluker) Henry. “Becky”, as most of family and friends knew her by, was also a
twin to Redessia Robinson. Preceding her death are her parents, George and
Isabella Henry; her brothers, Charles Henry and G.W. Henry and sisters,
Bertha McClure, Cassie Oglesby, Queen Esther Milon and Willie Pearl Henry.
The Henry family relocated to South Bend, Indiana when she was a young girl.
Becky attended and graduated from Central High School.
Rebecca attended Faith Temple Church of God in Christ, where she professed
her love of Christ as her savior.
Rebecca worked at St. Joseph Hospital and worked many years at Bendix
Corporation, an American Manufacturing and Engineering Company. Relocating
to Saint Louis as a young woman, she began working at Boeing, formerly
McDonnell Douglas, she worked a skilled sheet metal laborer. Becky retired in
December 2014 with thirty-five years with Boeing.
She joined in Holy Matrimony to Charles Crump, Sr. in January 1977. To this
union one son, Charles J. Crump, Jr., was born. Rebecca also had one
granddaughter, Anya Rebecca Crump and one grandson Charles “Trey” J.
Crump, III. Becky loved being a mother and grandmother.
Rebecca played so many roles in her life. She loved listening to her Blues and
spending time with her family and friends and she loved football as she
cheered for The Kansas City Chiefs. The holidays gave her some much joy and
Becky would be the one first to say, “let’s play some cards!” Over the years,
she took many trips back to South Bend, Indiana, San Jose, California and
Macon, Georgia to visit her siblings and to Arkansas with her extended family.
During her retirment she enjoyed lunches with her Boeing family at The
Cheesecake Factory or sometimes head across the river to Josephine Tea
Room in Godfrey, Illinois with family or friends. She was so full of life!

LaVarghn Hurt; six brothers ~ John Henry, George Henry (twin to G.W), Robert
