Winifred Creed, April 11, 2016

Mother of Jacqueline Watkins

Winifred M. (Cusick) Creed, 70, of Litchfield, died at the Community Hospice House in Merrimack on April 11, 2016 with her husband and daughter at her side. She was born in Boston on January 13, 1946, daughter of the late John and Mary (Stack) Cusick. She was predeceased by her brother, John Cusick Jr.

Winnie was the wife of Robert Creed, with whom she shared over 47 years of marriage. She attended Burdett College and earned a Master’s in education from Suffolk College. Winnie was an accountant for Raytheon for 30 years. Following her retirement from Raytheon, she worked at both Nashua High School North and South in the special education department.

She is remembered as a wise and generous person, a loving and devoted wife, mother, and grandmother. Winnie enjoyed making pottery, sewing, collecting coins, and traveling with her husband. She was particularly proud of the log cabin she and her husband built in the woods of Canterbury.

Besides her husband, she is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Jacqueline and Joshua Watkins of Andover; her grandchildren, Emma, William, and Abigail Watkins; a niece, Jennifer Cusick-Danielson; and several cousins.

Visiting hours were held at the Davis Funeral Home in Nashua on April 16, followed by a prayer service and a gathering at her late home. Burial and prayers were held privately on April 18 at the New Hampshire Veteran’s Cemetery in Boscawen.
