She was the founder and owner of Dayton Capscrew Co where she operated a successful business for over 30 years. Debby will be remembered most for her active role with her grandchildren often acting more like a third parent than a traditional grandmother. Her grandchildren were blessed with many years of generosity, friendship and a role model for strength, determination, and a love of life. She enjoyed spending time knitting, gardening, traveling, and crossword puzzles. She portrayed her English heritage with grace and elegant traits not often seen in society today. She was without question the quickest wit in the family with a great sense of humor even battling through her long term health issues. Debby will be remembered for her strong will, determination, compassion, and making family and friends alike feel welcome and loved, In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Richard Creager Jr. and brother, Basil (Baz) Cason both from Dayton.
