OBITUARY
 Rev.
Edd Painter
October 5, 1926 – February 23, 2022
Rev. Edd Painter, age 95, of Clarksville, Arkansas passed away due to
complications of chronic heart failure. Edd was born on October 5, 1926,
in the Waketon community west of Lewisville, TX as a twin to his parents
James Wonnie and Carrie Hudson Painter.
Edd grew up in the Chinn’s Chapel area which remained very special to
him. He lived his childhood on a farm with his twin Fred, brother Sam,
and sisters Wannell and Helen. Later in life he wrote a book detailing
his experiences about growing up in a country setting and how much that
impacted his journey in life.
Edd dedicated his life to public service, beginning with his enlistment
in the United States Army Air Force during World War II. He served as a
mechanic and was proud to be a veteran.
When he left the service, he married Edith Frances Coulter on February
1, 1947. He and Edith have two children Sherra Painter Chrimes and
Charles Edward Painter. They lived in Lewisville, Texas for several
years when Edd received the
calling to become a Methodist Minister. He pastored in Texas and
Oklahoma. He also graduated from the University of North Texas and then
received a grant to attend the University of Oklahoma where he obtained
his Master’s Degree. His family moved to Alva, Oklahoma where he taught
geography at Northwestern Oklahoma State University and also pastored in
Capron, Oklahoma.
He and Edith later moved back to Texas and he taught at Dewitt Perry
Junior High in Carrollton, TX for a number of years.
He became very instrumental in the building and funding of the Log Cabin
at the Chinn’s Chapel Cemetery. He also was intimately involved in the
Texas Historical designation of the Chinn’s Chapel Cemetery and Chinn’s
Chapel Church.
He loved researching and compiling genealogical work for his family, the
Chinn’s Chapel Cemetery, Old Hall Cemetery and Flower Mound Cemetery.
He was a truly GREAT man and an inspiration to so many. He had an impact
on many lives and always had such a positive outlook which contributed
to his long life. He loved his family and grandchildren and great
grandchildren more than anything in this world. He touched so many
lives, but he was ready to be with the Lord and his bride and the love
of his life, Edith Frances Painter. Just as our lives were so greatly
enriched by him, so too is Heaven.
Surviving family members are daughter, Sherra Painter Chrimes and
husband Fredrick Scott Chrimes of Clarksville, Arkansas and son Charles
Edward Painter of Norman, Oklahoma. Grandchildren: Cara Lea Chrimes
Graham and husband, Larry Graham of Scranton, Arkansas. John Edward
