Dorothy Creamer Miller, age 88, of Hendersonville, NC and formerly of Wayne, New Jersey, died peacefully on Saturday, August 8, 2015.
Dot was born in Little Falls and grew up in the Mountain View section of Wayne. The youngest of three children, she was a 1943 graduate of Wayne High School, now known as Wayne Valley High School.
Dot was introduced by her brother to James Creamer, a young man who was serving as a U.S. Navy Seabee. They fell in love and on December 15, 1946, after the end of World War II, she and Jim got married.
They settled initially in Newark but lived over the years in Clifton, Wayne, Towaco, and in the state of Pennsylvania. After Jim passed away in 1990, Dot moved to Toms River and remained there until relocating to Hendersonville, NC in 2005.
As a young mother, Dot served as a Cub Scout Den Mother. She worked for most of her adult life as a waitress in various restaurants, but most recently as a bus driver with Station Wagon Services of Totowa for ten years before fully retiring in 1980.
In 1992, Dot found love again, this time marrying Dick Miller. They enjoyed six-and-a-half years of marriage until Dick’s passing in 1999.
Since moving to the South, Dot’s greatest joy was the annual reunion, with family coming from Indiana, New Jersey, Ohio, and North Carolina to join together for fun and fellowship. Sharing family memories and pictures as well as catching up with everyone was a pleasure.
Dot was the loving mother of four sons: Jim and wife Claudia Creamer of Indianapolis, IN, Don and wife Marilyn Creamer of Oakland, Kevin and wife Cheryl Creamer of Mills River, NC, and the late Ken Creamer (1970). She is also survived by her nine dear grandchildren: David, Shelley (Justin), Brian (Kristy), Laura (fiancé, Andrew), Scott (Elizabeth), Devon, Christopher (fiancée, Abigail), April, and Karyna; and six great-grandchildren: Henry, Layla, Aniya, Adria, Sean, and Aidan. Dot was predeceased also by her two brothers, Walter Dann and Jim Dann.
Those planning an expression of sympathy in Dorothy’s name are asked to consider Alzheimer’s Association (www.alz.org) or the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s disease research (www.michaeljfox.org).
