Perry Worrell Creed

Mr. Perry Worrell Creed, 84, of Mount Airy, passed away January 9, 2020 at Joan & Howard

Woltz Hospice Home in Dobson, NC. He was born in Mt. Airy, NC on May 28,1935 to the late

Mamie Ruth Newsome Creed and Richard Arthur Creed. Mr. Creed was preceded in death by

his loving wife, Shirley Jean McHone Creed. Mr. Creed was a man of many talents and had a

variety of jobs and interests throughout his life. He worked in the furniture industry, was a floor

covering installer, and also made rugs. He loved to research family genealogy, build custom

Adirondack furniture, birdhouses, and curio cabinets, watch the birds from his back porch, and

spend time on his computers; he built a cabin off the Blue Ridge Parkway where many good

times were spent; but his all-time favorite activity was planning his summer garden and thinking

about all of the prize-winning tomatoes that he would grow.

Mr. Creed is survived by his daughter and son-in-law, Lisa Creed Hurst and Wes Hurst;

daughter, Sandy Creed Allen; granddaughter and husband, Holly Lauren Lanter and Taylor

Lanter; grandson Zackary Marcus Allen; and great-grandson Rush Vernon Lanter. In addition to

his parents and wife, Mr. Creed was preceded in death by sisters, Hattie Lou Creed and Joann

Creed; brothers, John Ralph Creed and Richard Hal Creed.

The family would like to express a special thank you to Novant Oncology, Day Surgery unit at

Northern Regional Hospital, and Joan & Howard Woltz Hospice Home for their compassionate

care.
