Creelman, Cheryl Anne – passed away peacefully in Colchester East Hants Health Centre, Truro on April 27, 2025 after a brief illness. Cheryl was a daughter of the late Donald and Portia (Fulton) Creelman.
Cheryl was a kind, loving soul. She was an avid reader and loved to collect magazines about all the celebrities in Hollywood and the Royal family. She travelled across Canada twice, to New Orleans and also Massachusetts numerous times to visit her sister. Cheryl was an animal lover, particularly cats. Over the years, she rescued and cared for numerous stray cats in the neighbourhood and one in particular became her favourite and long-time companion of 18 years, Sally. She also liked to listen to music especially The Beatles and Alabama and collected books and albums about them. She loved to gather with family and especially like to hang out with her cousins and uncle while they were showing their horses, Cape Cod Percherons.
Cheryl is survived by her sister, Phyllis Creelman Roberts (Gary Halbgewachs); nephew, Scott (Alison) Roberts; niece, Megan (Roberts) DeGrand (Mike); and grandnieces, Mackenzie and Amelia Roberts.
As per Cheryl’s request, there will be no funeral services.
Many thanks to the doctors and nurses who cared for Cheryl at QEII and the palliative care unit in CEHHC. Special thanks to her cousin, Linda who graciously stepped up and took Cheryl under her wing.
