Paula Creasey
Paula Anne Loeber Creasey, born in San Francisco, Calif., on Nov. 9, 1920, died in Hood River, Ore., on Sept. 12, 2006, at the age of 85. She was the widow of Frank Clay Creasey, to whom she was married for 56 years before his death in 1997.
She was the daughter of Charles Stanton Loeber, a noted California landscape photographer from the San Francisco Bay area, and Lydia Annette Brown, originally from Baltimore, Md; and the sister of Thomas Loeber, all of whom predeceased her.
Paula lived in San Francisco, including on Corinthian Island (later connected to the mainland as part of Belvedere), and in the Los Angeles area as a child. She graduated from John Marshall High School in Los Angeles in 1937 and from UCLA in 1942 with a bachelor?s degree in dietetics, having been persuaded that her real interest, chemistry, was not a suitable major for a young woman.
While at UCLA she met her future husband, a tall, handsome ROTC officer whom she married on Dec. 16, 1940. Following her graduation, she and her husband moved to Bakersfield, Calif., where he drilled oil wells, in which endeavor she helped (firing the boiler and racking pipe) until the birth in 1943 of the first of their six children.
In 1952 the family, now including two daughters and two sons, moved to St. Helena, Calif., in the Napa Valley, where the last daughter and son were born and where her husband founded Central Valley Builders Supply and later became a building contractor and farmer.
Once all her children were in school, Paula taught home economics for a few years at St. Helena High School and also did some substitute teaching. From 1962 to 1982 she worked for the U.S. Postal Service in St. Helena, ultimately becoming the assistant postmaster. Her career with the post office included promotions to positions not previously filled by women; such opportunities having resulted from the passage of federal legislation in 1964 that prohibited discrimination against women in federal employment.
After her retirement in 1982, she and her husband relocated to Mendocino County and lived near the sea, where they had a large and flourishing vegetable garden and boarded a few horses and enjoyed entertaining their growing crop of grandchildren, who loved visiting Grandma and Grampa in the country.
In 1996, Paula and Frank moved to The Dalles. Eleven months later, the unexpected death of her husband ended the dream of happy years of visits from far-flung children and grandchildren in the big house in The Dalles, and shortly thereafter Paula moved to Down Manor in Hood River. She became a member of St. Mark?s Episcopal Church but advancing ill health limited her activities. She resided at Down Manor until her final illness.
While in St. Helena, Paula was a member of Grace Episcopal Church and sang in the church choir and served on the Altar Guild. For several years, as the wife of a member of the local Kiwanis Club, she was a player in the annual Kiwanis Kapades, singing and performing in melodramas with themes from notable eras, such as the Roaring Twenties and the Gay Nineties.
She was a Girl Scout leader while her daughters were in Girl Scouts and a den mother while her sons were in Cub Scouts. She loved oil painting and took evening painting classes at the high school, and she was an accomplished poet, writing lyrical or whimsical or thoughtful poems about her world ? the natural beauty around her, her family and children, the past, the future, the humor of everyday things.
With her husband, she helped spearhead the ultimately successful effort to pass the bond issue that financed the construction of the Robert Louis Stevenson Middle School in St. Helena. While in Mendocino she took creative writing classes at the local community college and made the world?s best strawberry jam from strawberries grown by her husband. Together they enjoyed numerous trips all over the world, occasionally accompanied by one or two lucky grandchildren.
Paula was a wonderful cook and seamstress, making clothes for her children and grandchildren, especially beautiful prom dresses remembered with great affection by her daughters. She liked Scrabble and crossword puzzles and bridge, and even after her sight failed, she would team up with a grandchild to be her eyes and together they would compete at word games with the rest of the family.
Paula is survived by her six children and 11 grandchildren: Penelope Greenberg (and husband Scott) of San Carlos, Calif., and their daughters Emily, Amelia and Jill; Victoria Kelsey (and husband Joseph) of Hood River, Ore., and their children Elaine and William; Clay Creasey (and wife Abla) of Wayne, N.J., and their daughters Alia and Amanda; Paul Creasey (and wife Paula) of Sequim, Wash; Juliana Creasey of Lebanon, N.H; and Stanton Creasey (and wife Carol) of Sequim, Wash., and their children Adrianna, Olivia, Loretta and Anthony.
Also surviving are Paula?s stepsister, San Ball; half-sister, Mary Beth Loeber Walcott; and cousin, Annette Dobbs; as well as numerous nieces and nephews and other relatives.
A memorial service will be held at St. Mark's Episcopal Church in Hood River on Sunday, Sept. 24, at 1:30 p.m. All are welcome.

July 2lth 1846
My Dear Abitha

I would with gratitude recount the kindness of our heavenly Father manifested to your Grand Father and Me in our Journings which I will here briefley describe. In Canandaigua we took the cars, arrived at Rochester 1 pm. Went in to the City purchased about twenty Dollars worth of books. That evening Monday took a packet boat, arrived at Buffalo Tuesday 6 pm. At 7 took pasage in the DeWitt Clinton bound for Toledo but did not sail until 2 am. Had a pleasant but slow pasage. Thursday about sun down took a Canal boat and pursued our course down the Ma Me canal arrived at Fort Wayne Saturday eve. Stayed there over the sabbath. ...

Monday we again set sail on the Ma me. in a boat bound to Lafayette where we arrived Tuesday evening. There we expected to find a boat bound to Terre Haute; boats had gone out the evening before and more were hourly expected. But the water had fallen and none arrived. Had boats run, we could have got their in a short time but we had to take the stage after waiting two nights and one day. We had a fine view of the flourshing village, but we left it without regret for our round about passage in the stage of one hundred 25 miles we arrived at Terre Haute Friday about 9 p.m. ...

We spent over two weeks in Terre Haute then left for your uncle Theron's. We took the stage Tuesday morning about two o'clock bound to St. Louis a distance of 188 miles which was accomplished in forty hours. We then took a steam boat which was ready and proceded up the Mississippi 190 miles to Quincy. Arrived there Thursday near sundown. Friday morning went to Mendon 19 miles from Quincy. ...
