April 8 1938 September 23 2019
WINDHAM – Donald C. Creamer “Don”, 81, passed away Monday, September 23, 2019 at Gosnell Memorial Hospice House in Scarborough. He was born on April 8, 1938, in Auburn, Maine, the son of the late Paul and Theresa (Beal) Creamer. Don attended and graduated from Edward Little High School in Auburn, Maine. After graduation he served with the U.S. Air Force. After his service to his country, he returned home and worked at Fairchild Semiconductor for 35 years and then for the U.S. Postal service as a letter carrier for 20 years. Survivors include his wife of 31 years, Sharon A. Creamer of Windham. His daughters, Shelley Caron and her husband Mark of Scarborough, Lisa Doherty of Port Charlotte, Florida, Paula Fox and her husband Jim of Gorham, a son, Brian Creamer and his wife Aimee of Little Rock, Arkansas and 5 grandchildren who were the lights of his life: Krystle, Chelsea and her husband Joel, Matt, Jaclyn and Dakota. Don enjoyed attending Cressy Road United Methodist Church in Gorham and made many friends there. Some of Don’s favorite things were tending to his flower garden and then delivering bouquets to loved ones and friends. He also loved to collect pictures of vanity plates and could often be found talking to the owners of the plates to understand the meaning of the saying on the license plate. Don was proud that he had over 3,000 pictures of vanity plates and family and friends were happy to help contribute to his collection. Don will be remembered for his kindness. He could often be found at his grandchildren’s sporting events or around town passing out gold dollars. Many smiles were received through this kind gesture in recognizing who he thought had played a great game – on either team, or maybe had just played a tough game and needed a pick-me up, sometimes the most valuable fan received a coin, or someone he felt that could just use a smile. Don was very thoughtful and never forgot a birthday or holiday. He loved to send cards to his loved ones. He especially loved putting confetti in the cards in the hopes of catching someone unaware and then having a confetti mess to clean up. Yes, Don was a bit of a jokester as well. Don loved people and especially loved learning about them. He had the gift of gab and would randomly approach people to learn about the saying on their hat or their shirt or just about anything he could think of just to strike up a conversation. The family would like to thank the nursing staff of Maine Medical Center and Gosnell Memorial Hospice House for the loving care of Don. He continued to touch many lives even during this difficult time. There will be a private internment with family. To send flowers or a memorial gift to the family of Donald “Don” C.
