Dolores M. “Dee” Creedon
Dolores M. “Dee” Creedon, 86, known for a quick wit and generous nature, passed away peacefully Tuesday at the Good Samaritan Hospice in Wexford.
She was born on July 5, 1932, in Johnstown, and was the daughter of John and Margaret (Neubauer) Bezila.
She was raised on the North Side of Pittsburgh, and in the late 1950s, moved to Cranberry Township, where she would spend the rest of her life.
“Dee” married Daniel F. Creedon in 1957, and was married for 21 years until Daniel's untimely passing in January of 1979.
She graduated from St. John's School of Nursing and pursued her profession by working for 16 years at Divine Providence Hospital, now Kindred, on the North Side. She then moved on as an occupational treatment nurse with AT&T for over 20 years.
Upon retirement, Dee volunteered for 18 years at Cranberry Place and devoted hours of volunteering at St. Ferdinand Catholic Church, performing various duties and contributing to a vast amount of organizational activities.
