Margaret Creighton Lail
June 14, 2026
, born October 12, 1937, went home June 10, 2026.
Preceding her in death are her Father and Mother, Leroy Owens (Edna Mae) and Essie Mae Albritton, (DT); her husband of 47 years, Douglas Creighton, Sr.; son, Douglas Creighton, Jr.; step daughter, Deborah Sheilds; and step son-in-law, Howard Noble.

Margaret was a long-time member of Grace Open Bible Church in Cantonment, Florida. She loved attending church with her Christian family. Anytime anyone asked her how she was doing, the answer was always the same, ‘’I’M FINE”, thus her nickname became “MISS FINE”. She never complained about anything to anyone. Margaret was an avid fisher lady. If you saw her coming with her old cane pole, you knew she was going to catch fish even if it was in a mud hole. Margaret had the pleasure of traveling to many states, she especially loved being in Arizona. She always met new friends along the way and stayed in touch with them even after returning home. Margaret will be dearly missed by all those that knew and loved her.
