CREAMER, Mable A.
Pictou

Mable Amelia Creamer (Baltzer) was born on June 4th, 1919 in Welton’s Corner (Aylsford), Nova Scotia. She was the youngest child of the late Austin (1867-1923) and Cassie (1874-1920) Baltzer. Due to the early death of both parents, Mable was brought up by her twelve brothers and sisters, who together ran four apple farms and a sheep farm. Mable graduated from MAC Business College in Windsor and then went to work for Eaton’s in Halifax. During World War II, she worked at Central Scientific, in Toronto. After World War II, Mable returned to Halifax to work at the Halifax Dockyard. She married Joseph Alvin Creamer (1923-1965) in 1954, while he worked as an Engineer at The Bedford Institute of Oceanography. They later moved to Pictou, where Mable worked for the Pictou Fisheries School, Magdalene Ferries Ltd. and the Pictou Advocate; and Al worked with Northumberland Ferries on the Lord Selkirk. In her spare time, Mable enjoyed painting, reading, tennis, skiing, travelling and spending time with her family. Over the last year, she enjoyed many of the social activities put on by the staff at the Shiretown Nursing Home, while also developing a knack for winning Saturday afternoon Bingo. Mable was vibrant, witty, kind and her positivity and laughter were contagious to anyone who was around her, and she will be deeply missed. She is survived by her daughter, Kara Taylor (Cliff) of Scotsburn; son-in-law, Gregg Fancy of Waterside; grandchildren, Kristian (Phil), Catherine (Al), Joey, Luke and Emma, as well as several nieces and nephews across Canada and the USA. She was predeceased by her beloved husband, Al; daughter, Mary; and son, John who died in infancy; brothers, Harold, Ralph, Max, Arthur and Blake; and sisters, Hattie, Kathleen, Alice, Gertrude, Love, Helen and Flora. No visitation by family request. Funeral to be held at the Stella Maris Roman Catholic Church in Pictou on Monday, June 27th at 11:00 AM. Family flowers only please. Donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society in memory of her late daughter, Mary Fancy. The family of the late Mable Creamer would like to thank the staff at the Shiretown Nursing Home for the love and care that they provided to her over the past year, your kindness will not be forgotten. www.mclarenfuneral.ca
