With great sadness we report that Covid-19 has claimed the life of yet another beloved educator. Elisa Creacy, a high school math teacher from Texas, succumbed to the disease on July 30, 2021. She was just 35 years old.

Elisa was a teacher at Robstown Early Collegiate High School located in Corpus Christ, Texas. Her career there spanned 14 years. “She had a great impact on her students lives, her family, friends,” remembered her father-in-law Mike Creacy. “She was just a wonderful person. To me, she wasn’t my daughter-in-law. She was my second daughter,” he continued. At the high school where Elisa taught, colleagues and students are showing their respect for the beloved educator by planting a tree and holding an assembly in her honor.

Elisa passed away just three weeks after giving birth to her first child, a son she named Elijah, who was born on July 14. Her passing devastates her family, who was already overcoming many challenges. Her husband is disabled, having suffered severe combat injuries while serving in the US military. Elisa’s father is a chaplain for the Corpus Christi Police Department, and her mother is recovering from an organ transplant.

Elisa was born on February 25, 1986, in Huntington Beach, California. She is a graduate of Charleston Southern University in South Carolina. To read more about her, see this obituary published by Sawyer George Funeral Home, Inc.
