It is with great sadness that the family of Phyllis “Nanny” Creaser, 103, of Lower LaHave, announces her passing on Sunday, January 26, 2020 at the Mahone Nursing Home, Mahone Bay.
Born in Riverport, she was the daughter of the late George Asaph and Theresa Florence (Zinck) Conrad.
Phyllis was a member of St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church, Rose Bay.
Phyllis began her working career at a young age, leaving school in grade eight to work for the phone company at the Riverport switchboard. She then went on to work for a period of time selling Avon products all over Lunenburg County as well as serving food from the Lunenburg Bowling Alley canteen. Phyllis spent the majority of her working life at the Riverport Fish Plant where she remained up until she retired. Her family life was spent with many family trips camping at Ponhook Lake, spending time gardening, which she loved, crocheting baby blankets and teddy bears for the hospital, as well as going for drives, which up until very recently she still loved to do. She was also involved in her community, and was always on the door collecting tickets at the Riverport Community Centre with the Ladies Auxiliary. Phyllis remained very active throughout her life and always kept her sense of wonderful humour.
Phyllis is survived by daughters, Liz (Tom) Drake, Riverport; Joanne (Robert) Parks, East LaHave; son, Peter (Cynthia) Creaser, Dayspring; grandchildren, Annette, Pamela, Timothy, Tina, Peter, Stephanie; great-grandchildren, Daniel, Matthew, Timothy, Travis, Melissa, Kaleb, Abbey, Ross, Aiden, Laura-Lee; great-great-grandchildren, Leo and Azazel; as well as several nieces and nephews..
