Obituary of Nancy Creasy Campbell

The angels came on August 15, 2014 and took Nancy Creasy Campbell home to be with her heavenly Father & her loved ones who were there before her. She was of the Methodist faith & when in Martinsville attended the Chatham Heights United Methodist Church. She was 86 years old and was born on Saturday, February 25, 1928 in Bedford County, a daughter of the late Albert Creasy and Clara Wilkes Creasy. After graduating from high school, she moved to Martinsville where she worked for the Dupont Company. She married John Campbell who preceded her in death. After his death, she bought her home on 107 Tanyard Road in Hurt and moved to be closer to family. She enjoyed her home for many years before moving to Autumn Care Rehab & Nursing Home in Altavista. There she made friends with the nurses, CNA's and the others that worked there. They were truly good to her. She also was cared for by the Erma Moon family who looked after & loved her just as their own mother. You can be sure when they came with food for Mrs. Moon, there was enough for Nancy too!
