Louise Waycaster Creasman
(June 21, 1939 ~ April 7 2025)
Louise Waycaster Creasman, born June 21, 1939, peacefully completed her earthly journey at age 85 on April 7, 2025, at the John F. Keever Jr. Solace Center, following a lengthy but valiant battle with pancreatic cancer.
A native of the mountains which she so dearly loved, she graduated from Lee Edwards High School, Class of ’57. She met and married the love of her life, the late Thomas L. Creasman, and they began to build their home in the West Asheville area in the same house in which she was born. Louise operated her own hair salon in the downstairs area of their home.
Louise was many things to many people, and she faced life with an unmatched sense of humor and joy – she never met a stranger. Her trademark greeting to all who visited her was “Hey, honey!” Even after she became sick, she greeted visitors one and all with such enthusiasm that you would never know she was terminally ill. She had many “best friends” – both in her Church and her neighborhood. She loved her Lord and Savior and every animal of every description – but was particularly fond of dogs. Those who knew her best know she was an avid fan of Elvis and over the years collected a considerable amount of memorabilia. Read the complete obituary here.
Her nephews and great-nephews will serve as honorary pallbearers at her graveside service at Lewis Memorial Park on Thursday, April 10, 2025, at 2:00 p.m., with Pastor Eric Hill officiating.
Memorials may be given in Louise’s memory to Pleasant Hill United Methodist Church, 2312 Smoky Park Highway, Candler, NC 28715 or to your favorite animal charity.
