Craig Glen Chamblee

Craig was a lifelong resident of Sulphur and a 1965 graduate of Sulphur High School. He worked for 30 years at Calcasieu Marine Bank and upon his retirement, he and his wife, Bonnie started Chamblee's Buffet in Sulphur which they have owned and operated for over 17 years. He loved camping and thoroughly enjoyed watching college football, especially the LSU Tigers. He was also a proud supporter of Sulphur Golden Tor football since the age of three.

Survivors include his wife of 44 years, Bonnie Luke Chamblee; three daughters, Karla Ryan Chamblee, Angela Chamblee, and Robyn Chamblee Miller and husband, Danny; his son-in-law, Chris Ryan; four grandchildren, Jaelyn Ryan, Baylee Treme, Addyson Miller, and Allyson Miller; three step-grandchildren, Bailey, Katie, and Carlee Miller; and his siblings, Glenda Chamblee Pickett and Brent Chamblee, all of Sulphur. He is preceded in death by his parents, Ford and Doris Chamblee.

Per Craig's wishes, the family will have a private graveside service at Mimosa Pines Cemetery South in Carlyss. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorial donations be made to the St. Jude's Hospital (www.stjude.org) or The Salvation Army (3004 Gertsner Memorial Drive, Lake Charles LA 70601).
