Norma Jean Creaser

She was the daughter of the late Gordon and Astrid (Withrow) MacLean of Sydney, NS. Following elementary and high school she graduated from Eastern Tech (UCCB) and spent 40 years working for Cleve’s Sporting Goods in the accounting and payroll department. She was a devoted wife to Larry for 53 years of marriage. Proud mother of Stephen, Oromocto, NB; daughter, Tracy, Dartmouth, NS. Loving grandmother to Erin, Aiden, Danielle, and Evan. She is survived by siblings Dorothy, Susan, Patricia, Jeff, and Mickey.

She was a lifelong hockey fan and followed the Habs and local AHL and QMJHL teams. She volunteered for many years as the treasurer of the NS Voyagers Booster Club. Her love of cooking and baking started at a young age with instruction from her grandmother, Nana Rosie. She freely shared her delicious food and recipes with all. She taught and inspired many in the family to learn how to cook and bake. Norma had a love of babies and cats. Whenever she had an opportunity to hold a baby she took it. She had a tender spot in her heart for stray cats and took in many over the years ensuring they had veterinary care and a safe loving home.
