A proud United States Air Force veteran, William will be remembered for his love of family, his many interests, and the memories he created with those closest to him.
William was preceded in death by his parents, Julian and Margie Creel.
He is survived by his beloved wife of 59 years, Mary “Liz” Creel; his children, Stephanie Huffman (Frank) and Greg Creel (Laura); his grandchildren, Sarah (Aaron), Garrett, Carter, Riley, and Madelyn; and his brother, Mike (Leisa).
William enjoyed investing, traveling, bowling, and, most of all, spending time with his family. Whether exploring new places, enjoying a favorite pastime, or simply gathering with loved ones, he treasured the time spent making memories with those who mattered most. William leaves behind a legacy of love and cherished memories that will live on in the hearts of his wife, children, grandchildren, family, and friends. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in William’s memory to the WellStar Foundation in support of Heart Care or Cancer Care.
