Elizabeth Creadick, Lewes native
Elizabeth “Betty-O” Creadick, 86, of Lewes passed away Monday, June 26, 2017, at her residence, surrounded by her loving family. She was born Thursday, April 30, 1931, in Lewes, daughter of the late Charles and Mary (Perry) Collins.
Betty-O was born and raised in Lewes and graduated from Lewes High School in 1949. During her high school years she enjoyed participating in many activities including basketball, softball and chorus. Following her graduation, Betty-O wed Eddie Creadick, and they would go on to share 65 wonderful years together.
In addition to taking care of her husband Eddie, which was its own full-time job, Betty-O worked for many years at Beebe Healthcare in Lewes as a switchboard operator. In her free time, Mrs. Creadick enjoyed the beach, shopping, reading, and spending time with her family. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, great-great-grandmother, and dear friend. Like the Bride and Groom trees that stand outside her home, Betty-O was a longtime fixture in this community who will be missed by many.
