Eddie Glynn Price, 92 years of age and resident of Natchitoches, passed away on Tuesday, September 24, 2019.  He was born on September 3, 1927, to William Ed Price and Lillian Goins Price in Castor, LA.  He was preceded in death by his parents; his wife of 70 years, Sarah Virginia Lee Price; a grandson, Derek Price; a sister, Hazel Yvonne Humphrey; and brothers, A.O. Price, John E. Price, O.R. Price, and Bobby P. Price. He is survived by his daughter, Judy Annette Melancon of Shreveport; sons, Randy Glynn Price and wife Christie of Natchitoches and Brian Keith Price of Natchitoches; a grandson, Justin Price of Shreveport; and great grandchildren, Grayson, Leya, and Kristian. A hard worker his entire life, he worked many years for T&P Railroad as well as the United States Postal Service from which he retired in 1989.  A veteran of the United States Navy, he was very proud of his patriotic duty.  He was deep-rooted in his faith and was a founding member of Grand Ecore Baptist Church.  During his pastime, he enjoyed fishing with family and friends.  He will be missed but we know because of his strong faith we will be reunited with him one day in heaven. The family would like to extend their sincere appreciation to the staff at Natchitoches Community Care especially Alva Lou Floyd and Ruby Efferson for the compassion and care shown to our father during his brief stay. In lieu of flowers, donations in his name may be made to NSU Fellowship of Christian Athletes, 143 Patrick Road, Natchitoches, LA 71457.
