Helen Joan "Jody" Rolf Creech

Jody was raised in Wheelersburg, Ohio. She met her future husband, William T. “Bill “Creech on a blind date in Dayton, Ohio. They were wed on November 16, 1946, and were married for 65 years. Jody was a dedicated Air Force wife and followed her husband around the world on his various assignments. She relished her life as an officer’s wife which was demonstrated in how she skillfully created a warm home for her family as they transferred to a new base every few years.

Her greatest passion in life was her four daughters; Terry, Connie, Sue, and Pam. She loved her girls and always encouraged them to follow their dreams.

Jody had a sweet and gentle disposition. She loved music and singing and made sure her daughters were exposed to music. One of her greatest passions for over 20 years was her involvement with Sweet Adelines. She genuinely enjoyed barbershop music, performing, and singing for others.

Jody is survived by her daughters, Terry Hill and husband, Steve, of Knoxville, Tennessee; Connie Belcher, of Clovis, New Mexico; Sue Watkins and husband, Royce, of Midland, Texas, and Pam Teicher and husband, Jon, of El Paso, Texas. She is also survived by 8 grandchildren: Cindy Buttry, Jason Milliken, Jackie Cody, Andy Watkins, Chip Mongar, Emily Watkins, Ethan Teicher, and Devin Teicher and four great-grandchildren. Jody was preceded in death by her husband, William T. “Bill” Creech, her parents, and her brother, Ben Rolf.

The family would like to express their deep and sincere appreciation to Martha and Giselle Ricci for their tireless devotion and care of our mother and also to Aurora Quintana, RN, from Hospice of El Paso, for her compassion and commitment to our Mom until the very end.
