Eola & Glenn, We lost a pillar of our community, a lady that was always smiling, loving & caring about others. I will always remember the blue hairbrush she gave me when I graduated from High School. Heaven always has a place for angels like Ms. Ad.

Eola and Glenn,
Our love, thoughts and prayers go out to you in this loss of your Mother and our Aunt. May you find comfort in the knowledge that she's in a much better place now. We remember with fondness Aunt Ada opening her home for our wedding reception 47 years ago and the many times for family gatherings. She always warmly welcomed us whether there was a crowd or just our family.

Eola, Glenn and family, “Miss Ada� was a true corner stone in Evans County.
Her enthusiasm was harnessed to thoughtfulness. “Miss Ada� was pragmatic, bright, connected, independent, loved her family and the Claxton First United Methodist Church.

After church one Sunday, daddy told mother, “Eldon and Ada Creech are among God's finest creations. They make each other happy and are raising some very level headed and hard-working children. No more than that needs to be said.� I was impressed.

“Miss Ada� was a brave and inspiring woman. She leaves a large, difficult to fill footprint here, but she's in Heaven making “Mr. Eldon� happy again.

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Floyd and Betty Livingston
