Laura Creeth Obituary

Laura Sue Creeth

Laura Sue Creeth was born August 7, 1965 in Ilwaco, Washington. She attended many schools, has so many memories of playing basketball and cheer leading in high school. Laura earned her high school letter from Sultan High. She graduated from Aberdeen High School in 1983 and attended Grey's Harbor college. She earned a Black belt degree in Taekwondo in June of 1990; she was more proud of her black eyes than her trophies. Kendra was born to her in 1989 to fulfill her life. She enjoyed a career in the financial field, she attacked life with all the passion one could.
She is survived by her husband, Gerald; daughter, Kendra; sister, Carmen; brother, Chuck; parents, Allen and Laurel; mother-in-law, Eileen; grandmother, Elsie; countless aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews.
Her grandmother Elsie was a very inspirational person in her life, she taught her the joy of gardening, cooking, being strong and living life to the fullest. She adores her. Laura passed away Monday night April 5, 2010. She fought a long hard battle with kidney failure. She was brave, strong, tough all the way through her battle. I know she would want all of us to live life to the fullest, dream big and go after what your heart tells you.
A celebration of her life is being held at 1:00 p.m., Saturday, April 10, 2010, at Seattle Apostolic Lutheren Church, at 19555 Freemont Ave. N Shoreline, WA 98133.

I worked with Laura at Washington Federal and we quickly became good friends. Everyone who met Laura was automatically drawn to her spirited, funny,down-to-earth nature! She was a beautiful person inside and out and a good friend. Laura may not have had a long life on this earth, but she made an impact on those who knew and loved her to last several life times. She mattered greatly and will truly be missed and never forgotten. My greatest wish for her is that she rest in peace. With love,

We were shocked to hear of Laura's passing and our heart breaks for Gerry and Kendra. We pray that they find strength in knowing that they will see "mom" again someday. Laura came into our life through her friendship with our daughter Nancy and we will never forget her. May the memories of Laura hold you up.

We are so sorry for your loss,

I was one of Laura's nurses many years ago. She was tough and bright and a joy to care for. Though I had not seen her since her transplant, she is one I have thought of often. She was a great mom who lived for her daughter. I will continue to think of her fondly and carry the memory of her with me.

My thoughts and prayers are with her family.

I worked with Laura for many years. She was a wonderful woman who was very proud of her daughter and talked about her all the time.

She was a lovely caring woman and will be missed.
