Nola Mae Creed

She was born on May 14, 1928, in Plano, Texas, to the later John & Nola (Holley) Yandell. Nola was a 1946 graduate of Plano High School. Soon after graduation, Nola married Billie Wayne Creed in their home in Plano and went on to spend the next 45 years together. Nola was a devoted wife and a mother. She enjoyed the simple gift of time spent with her family, especially attending youth ball games, water skiing, and camping.

Nola had many jobs over the years but enjoyed her time spent at A.R. Schell Insurance in Plano, where she worked as an insurance specialist. Nola cherished her faith and was a member of First Baptist Church in Plano and Fellowship Baptist Church in Winnsboro, where she held the office of Treasurer and Song Leader for Sunday morning services. She and others from the church also ministered weekly to nursing homes in Winnsboro with their singing talents. Nola leaves behind a legacy of love for God and family, and she will be greatly missed by all who loved and knew her.

In addition to her parents, Nola was preceded in death by her husband in 1992, Billie Wayne Creed; great-granddaughter, Emma Kay Smith; and sisters and brothers, Charlsie Strain, John Yandell, Louise Stephens, Jack Yandell, Billy Don Yandell, and Tommy Joe Yandell Sr. She is survived by her two sons, Phillip W. Creed and Mark L. Creek, both of Winnsboro, TX; grandchildren, Crystal & Stephen Pickett of Tyler, TX, Casey W. Creed of Ponchatoula, LA, Christopher M. Creed of Paradise, TX, Brandon S. Creed of Murphy, TX, Ashley & Landon Smith of Paradise, TX, and Lindsay & Josh Carson of Prosper, TX; 21 great-grandchildren and five great great-grandchildren; sister, Wanda Wilson of Plano, TX; and several nieces and nephews.
