Sorry to hear of your mothers passing. She was a very good person and was blessed with a great life and children.
Edythe was a 38 yr member of Col Crawford Chapter, I met Edythe in 2000 when I was doing my application for DAR, she was a special lady in our chapter. She was on my calling list and I always enjoyed talking to Edythe when she was no longer able to attend DAR. She will be missed by all of us. Prayers to you and your family at this time.
To The Creacraft Family,
Please know that you are in our thoughts & prayers at this time. May God wrap you in His loving arms & give you the comfort & support that you all need at this time.
Irwin and Marilyn and family, Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. God bless you as you say good-bye to a beautiful lady!!!!
irwin, sending my sympathy and sincere condolences for the loss of your mom.
Irwin and Marlene,
We’re sad we can’t be with you as you celebrate the life of your mother. Her middle name, as she always said, does seem to have been “Go.” We always enjoyed Aunt Edythe very much.
We are so sorry for your loss. I didn’t know that she was ill. May the Lord comfort you and give you peace. May He bless you and keep you in His wonderful care each day!
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during your loss of your mother. We are sorry we could not be there in person, but are thinking about your family as you celebrate Edythe’s life. Remember the wonderful times and share as many of those as you can with everyone.
Mark Creacraft and family,
Cherish the memories of a truly remarkable lady.
Deepest sympathy,

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I have so many fond memories of Edythe. I lived beside her for many years and she always welcomed me in to her home. She showed me how to make meringue for pies and was always baking something. You are all in my thoughts and prayers!
I extend the sincerest condolences to the friends and family of Edythe.
Edythe and I did not know each other, but by virtue of her distinctive name, and that of her late husband, I have felt I had known her for many years as part of my family history studies. It is sad to think that is has taken the announcement of her passing for me to become aware of her family, with whom I am distantly related.
