The daughter of Thomas and Letha Banks Gabbard of Lee County, Kentucky.

Sister of; Floyd Gabbard of Lake Orion, Michigan, Evelyn Rush, Pontiac, Michigan and Margaret Nungam of Argentine, Michigan.

11 grandchildren, 25 great grandchildren and 3 great, great grandchildren.

Preceded in death by son Paul Gabbard.

Mother of:
Emil Duane Creech, born, August 25, 1931.
Donald Lional Creech, born, January 13, 1934.

I was told by her son Emil that when she was a young woman she had gone to church one Sunday morning and another woman there had complimented her on what a nice dress she had on. After the service she met the same lady in the parking lot, took off the dress and gave it to her and went home in her slip.
When asked about the incident she said that that poor woman needed that new dress worse than she did.

Leona Creech is my Great Aunt.
