Sister Lucy Creasy passes
SISTER LUCY CREASY PASSES
Former Pirie Hospital Matron and War Nurse
The funeral took place in Adelaide on Thursday of Mrs. Stanley G. Brown, better known to many Pirie folk by her maiden name, Sister Lucy Creasy.
Mrs. Brown was given a funeral with military honours and was interred in the diggers' portion of West Terrace Cemetery as a mark of remembrance of her valuable work as a member of the Australian Army Nursing Corps,
A.I.F.
Mrs. Brown was a daughter of Mrs. M. A. and the late Mr. J. E. Creasy, of Pirie. She received her nursing training at Adelaide Hospital, and was later district nurse in Adelaide, Gawler, Hindmarsh, and Woodville. She was born at Auburn.
Sister Creasy was nursing in Melbourne when the war broke out, and she immediately returned to her own State and enlisted for nursing service abroad. She was in the thick of the famous retreat from Mons.
Soon after her return from overseas she received the appointment as matron of Pirie Hospital. She left here 15 or 16 years ago, and some time later married Mr. Brown. She had been in indifferent health for some time, but her death was entirely unexpected.
The officiating minister at the burial service on Thursday was Rev. R. M. Fulford, of Holy Trinity Church, Adelaide, who presided at the marriage ceremony of Mr. and Mrs. Brown.
Two brothers and a sister are left Messrs. A. and C. Creasy and Mrs. S. Milnes, all of Solomontown. Mrs. M.A. Creasy, who is aged 83 and is an invalid, is at present residing with Mrs.Milnes. Messrs. Creasy and Mrs. Milnes went to Adelaide for the funeral.
