She married Charles "Bud" Creasbaum Dec. 23, 1944, in Illinois. The couple made their home in Hammond, IN, where they raised four children. Jean was my aunt, and I remember family get-togethers at their house, goofing around with my cousins and listening to Uncle Bud tell stories. They were active in their church and enjoyed a variety of hobbies. [Charles Leland Creasbaum Jr (1921-2009).]
