Creola Lasky

Creola Pearl Lasky of Phoenix, AZ passed away on November 27, 2023, at the age of 82.  Creola was born May 2, 1941, in Petros, the daughter of Nellie Tucker and Jack Tucker.  She was the youngest child of eleven children with nine brothers and one sister.  She had spent time living in Ohio and Chicago, IL but since 1977 she had called Arizona her home.  Though she worked different jobs in her lifetime she took pride in her 23 years of service with the State of Arizona managing the Water Resources Records Department.  After retiring she moved briefly back to Tennessee before returning to Arizona for her health.  She is survived by two brothers, Isaac “Ike” Tucker and Frank Tucker, and her sister, Carrie Priest, who lives in the Phoenix area.

She is survived by three sons who loved her dearly:  Kevin (Lisa) Lasky, Rodney Lasky, and Chris (Karen) Lasky.  She loved spending time with her three grand-daughters: Kristina Gauchat, Shelby Key, and Sarah Lasky, and two great grand-sons Theodore and Kiowa.  She had many nieces, nephews, and friends across the country whom she loved.  The Lasky family is grateful for Creola’s best friend Stella Murillo, whose visits were always the highlight of her week.

Creola passed away from Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).

The family requests that in lieu of flowers you consider a memorial donation to The American Lung Association.
