Sarah Creamer Barker

January 18, 1949 — November 24, 2024

On November 24, 2024, Sarah Creamer Barker died peacefully in her sleep at the Summit Health and Rehab Center in Lynchburg, Virginia. “Sally” was 75 years old and had been ill for four months before her passing. Her husband, Stephen Casey Barker, who went by Casey, will dearly miss her.

Sally was born on January 18, 1949, in San Mateo, California, daughter of the late, Edmund T. and Louise J. Creamer. She is survived by her sister Judith Glendinning, her two children, Catherine Lamy and Heather McGrew and their families: her brother Robert Creamer and his wife, Nancy, their son Jonathan and his family. Judith’s husband, Lawrence Glendinning, predeceased Sally.

Sally will be missed by Casey’s brother Shawn Barker, his wife Terry, their two children and four grandchildren. She will also be missed by her stepmother-in-law and friend Georgette Barker, her son, Brian Summers and his family: Casey’s son Adam Scott Barker and his family: Casey’s nephew and niece Eric and Medora Barker, their mother Lauren Fernandez and Eric’s wife Melody Donnelly: Casey’s cousin Nancy Giguere and her husband Joe: and finally by so many friends that graced Sally’s life while she was in the world.

She was raised in The Bay Area, attended college at Arizona State University where she earned a Bachelor of Arts and two master’s degrees. Sally moved to Lynchburg in the late 1980’s and worked as a mental health therapist for nearly 25 years. She liked to read, watch movies, and go to live music events where she especially loved to dance with Casey into the evening hours. She was a woman who enjoyed life, family, and friends.

A memorial and celebration of life service will be held on Saturday, January 18, 2025, at Magnolia Foods from 6 – 8 PM. The address is 2476 Rivermont Avenue, Lynchburg, VA. This will be a celebration of her birth into the world and a remembrance of her life.
