In loving memory of our father, Teddy Creed, who passed away on December 27th 2023. He was the devoted husband to his beloved wife Ramona Creed who preceded him in death. He leaves behind one sister, Vita Kinsch of Kansas, sons Chadd Creed and Craig Creed of California, daughters Amy Macoubrie and Leigh Palmer of Kansas as well as ten grandchildren and four great grandchildren. He will be deeply missed by his family and all who knew him.

 

 

 

Born in Delano, California to Lehman and Mary Creed, Teddy was raised in the Parsons Kansas area. He graduated from Pittsburg State University with a bachelor’s degree, masters of education and educational specialist degree. He was passionate about education and the lives he touched. He started teaching in Coffeyville, Ks in 1976 and retired in 2006 from USD 445 after thirty years.

 

 

 

One of the kindest souls on this planet, our father was a gentle, giving man who worked tirelessly to ensure that his family had everything they needed. He faced every challenge in life with admirable strength, courage and a wonderful sense of humor.

 

 

 

Early in life, our father learned the importance of hard work and he instilled that same work ethic in us. He was always there for us, whether we needed help with our homework or just a shoulder to cry on. He was a man of strong faith and he taught us the importance of family, hard work and doing what is right.

 

 

 

Our father was a true role model who we will always look up to. Father, you are now at peace with Ramona, but you will live on forever in our hearts. We love you so much. Rest in peace.

 

 

 

The memorial service will be held at Grace Fellowship Church in Coffeyville on Saturday January 13th at 1:00 pm under the direction of David W. Barnes Funeral Home. Pastor Doug Mund will officiate. To leave a message for the family online, visit www,dwbfh.com
