Anniedeen Bateman Creel (1922 - 2019)
Anniedeen Bateman Creel was born February 13, 1922 to Boyce C. Bateman and Pervilla Alice Roark in Joplin, Missouri. She passed peacefully with her family by her side on November 19, 2019.
Anniedeen is survived by her children, Shirley Downing (Bob), Jerry Ann Guidroz (Ron), Janie Rucker (Gary), James W. "Buddy" Creel (Jeannie), Beth Trumps (Don) and Lemuel R. "Rocky" Creel (Julia), fifteen grandchildren and 28 great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her husband, James L. Creel and her parents, Boyce and Villa Bateman.
Anniedeen graduated from Stephen F. Austin in 1942 with a degree in the arts and education. She received her Master’s degree from Texas Women’s University and studied music and art at Columbia University in New York City. After college, she moved to Baytown, Texas where she taught music and art in the public schools for 25 years. She had prayed since her childhood for a large family and God answered her prayers when she married Lemuel, a widower with children in 1963. God further answered her prayers when Rocky was born a year later.
Though she was a teacher, artist and musician by profession, her passion was sharing the gospel. In 1971, God called her and Lemuel to a home missions work in Casper, Wyoming where they pastored a church for the next 18 years. After the death of her husband, she traveled to India where she taught bible, music and art at the Scism Christian Institute in New Delhi, and traveled the region ministering in churches. The last few years of her missionary work were spent in Sri Lanka teaching in the bible school there. At the age of 87, she finally decided it was time to settle down near her family in Texas, so she packed up and moved back to Conroe. But her passion for teaching bible, art and music didn’t diminish, and she was actively teaching art classes and bible studies in her retirement community until the day she died.
Anniedeen left an impression wherever she went and she will be missed by many. Even though our hearts are broken, we rejoice that she has received her heavenly crown. She led us, with love, by example and taught us of that beautiful heavenly city and how to get there. Her heartbeat was the Word of God and teaching others the way to the cross.
The family will receive friends for a visitation from 5:00 P.M. until 7:00 P.M., Friday, November 22, 2019 with a service to begin at 7:00 P.M. at Bethel Tabernacle, 1020 FM 1960, Houston, Texas. Interment will be held on Saturday, November 23, 2019 at 12:00 P.M., at Old Palestine Cemetery, Alto, Texas. Arrangements have been entrusted to Claire Brothers Funeral Home, 7901 Hillcroft Street, Houston, Texas 77081.
