My heart is truly heavy at this time. Mrs Creaser was truly an amazing instructor, endearing motherly figure that kept us on the right path. I learned many life skills while being in her class at STC/ GHS and apart of the yearbook staff. My prayers are for the strength of her family. We love you and will truly miss such an amazing person.

This saddens me so much. She was such a good friend and a wonderful person. Sending my love and sympathy.

- Betsy Spann, Watkinsville , GA

I was so sorry to hear this very sad news. Barbara and I were roommates at one time as we worked on our master's degree and early career. Reed, you and your daughter and entire family are in my thoughts and prayers.

I am so sorry to hear of Barbara’s passing. She was a friend who always had a smile and pleasant greeting when we would run into each other. When I moved back to Savannah in 2001, I became acquainted with Barbara through our professional careers. It did not take long to realize that we had an earlier connection from the 1970s through Savannah Country Day and her mom. Since our retirement, I have missed running into her frequently. I’m so glad to read that she enjoyed spending time with her granddaughter! That is also something we both would have found we had in common. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with all of the family. I know that Barbara was a strong Christian, and it’s comforting to know that she is in God’s arms today!! I know that your wonderful memories of Barbara will bring you many smiles and peace always. With much sympathy...

I taught with Barbara and have many good memories of her. She always wore beautiful clothes and she loved her challenging babies. I'm so sorry for your loss. May God bring you comfort.

- Carol Ogle, Pooler, GA

My heartfelt condolences are extended to the family of Barbara Creaser. When I began working for Savannah Technical College, Barbara was one of the first people that welcomed me with open arms. Many days I would come to work and sit with her on the bench as she waited for Reed to pull around with the car. We would have the best conversations about her years with SCCPSS, Armstrong, and of course, how excellent Reed was as a spouse. Barbara always gave me words of encouragement. She was a jewel that will be missed by many.
