Derinda Deaton Creamer passed away Sunday, December 14, 2025, in Fayetteville. Derinda was a devoted wife, mother, Granny, and friend who meant so much to so many.
She never met a stranger and was always the first to help when someone was in need. Her kindness, generosity, and love extended far beyond what words can capture.
She lived to serve.
Derinda was a true memory maker. Every holiday, birthday, or special occasion she touched was made special-down to the smallest detail. She had a gift for making people feel seen, valued, and loved in every moment.
She lived to love.
Her wit, laughter, and warmth filled every room she entered. She brought comfort to those who needed it most and joy to everyone fortunate enough to know her.
She lived to spread joy.
Derinda was one of a kind, surrounded by love and cherished memories. Her legacy will live on through the many lives she touched.
She lived to be remembered.
Derinda was preceded in death by her parents, Emzley and Burnadeene Deaton of West Fork, Arkansas; her mother-in-law and father-in-law, Ray and Sharon Johnson of Kokomo, Indiana; and her sister, Demarius Deaton of Siloam Springs, Arkansas.
She is survived by her loving husband of 33 years, Lance Creamer of Fayetteville, Arkansas; her daughters and sons-in-law: Miranda and Brian Presley of Huntsville, Arkansas; Alicia and Josh Goble of Elkins, Arkansas; Malaysha and Coy Chappell of Elkins, Arkansas; her beloved grandchildren: Lilliann, Jack, Callen, Cameron, Payson, Jett, Brianna, Cashton, Lance, and Emmy; her sister and brother-in-law, Drucilla and Dwane Middleton of West Fork, Arkansas; along with nieces, nephews, and extended family.
A celebration of life will be 10:30 AM Saturday, 20, 2025 at Beard’s Funeral Chapel.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you make someone laugh today and continue to spread joy the way Derinda would have.
