Obituary of Elaine Iris Chase

Elaine Iris Chase, 69, of Bath, passed away peacefully on Tuesday July 26th with her loving children at her side. Born on July 12th 1947, one of fourteen children, she attended Woolwich Central School and Morse High School. She found fulfillment helping others and greatly enjoyed working for family planning and then local daycare centers. With her kind, understanding approach she had a real gift connecting with children. She loved it when kids she hadn't seen in 20 years would stop to say how much she meant to them. Throughout the years she made a special family while working and visiting The Galley Restaurant, conveniently located next door to "Creamerville", the family home base for many years. Elaine spent a lot of time outdoors with her rake "working the land", composting and gardening. She was an avid putterer always staying busy. She loved music and loved to dance. Her family and friends were the most important thing to her, she always wanted the best for them. Anyone who knew her well can attest to her loving, thoughtful, non-judgmental guidance that came with such ease. Elaine was predeceased by her father Perley Creamer; siblings Wendall Bennett, Polly Bennett, Hildreth Creamer, Flo Creamer, Letha Bennett, Byron Creamer, Libby Creamer and Mike Creamer. She is survived by her son Mike Chase and daughter Sarah Chase; granddaughters: Danielle, Nicole and Hannah Chase; great-grandchildren: Ayden, Emma, Bentley and Nya; mother Ruth Creamer and siblings: Oren "Bubby" Creamer and his wife Carol, Robert Creamer and his wife Angela, Gary Creamer and his wife Terry, Roland Creamer and his wife Lynn, Joe Creamer and his wife Laurie; as well as her very dear friend Diane Barter Wright and numerous other friends, cousins, nieces and nephews. Her loved ones had the most precious gift of time to spend with Elaine on her final days to say goodbye and share their love. Elaine told everyone she loved them, saying she was so happy and proud of her family. Elaine is well loved and will be immensely missed. Services will be held on August 26th at 4:30pm at Five Islands Baptist Church, 6 Old Schoolhouse Rd, Georgetown followed by a celebration of life at the Bath Legion, 200 Congress Ave, Bath at 6:30pm.
