Shawn Melissa Creasy

Shawn was baptized at an early age at New Morning Star Missionary Baptist Church. Shawn grew up in Peoria, IL, where she became a wife, a mother, and a friend to many. Shawn had a passion for cooking. Shawn was a free spirit, fun loving, living life to the fullest type of person. She could light up a room with her infectious smile. Many would say she was the life of the party. In Shawn’s own words: “Keep up my peeps!” Shawn held many managerial positions in her life. She also took pride in being a mixologist.
