Wynn Armstrong Creal, 84, of Atlanta, Georgia, passed away on January 7th, 2021 after a month long battle with COVID-19. Wynn was born on November 4, 1936 in Newnan, Georgia to Jesse Jones Armstrong of Hogansville, Georgia and Louise Wynn of Newnan, Georgia. She grew up in Savannah in the Gordonston neighborhood. After graduating from the Pape School in Savannah, Georgia in 1954, she went on to study Latin and French at the University of Georgia. After her graduation in 1958, she became a teacher. She taught English at Druid Hills High School where she frequently purchased work books for her less fortunate students. She taught French and Latin at Pace Academy and Mt. Vernon Christian Academy for over 20 years. After a satisfying career in teaching, she obtained her real estate license and had a successful 40 year career as a residential real estate agent primarily in the Druid Hills neighborhood of Atlanta. She met her first husband George “Buddy” Creal in college, and they wed in 1958 and had their first and only son, George Chadwell Creal, Jr. in 1967. Wynn dedicated her life to being a fantastic and wonderful mother, even after a divorce and difficult financial times, she managed to be a successful mother and business woman. She would make dinner, set her son down to his homework and make business calls until 9 or 10 at night. Wynn had a big heart and frequently opened her home to family members and friends supporting them through the many passions and difficulties of their lives. Whether lending a helping hand to family or to friends, she made it her mission to improve the lives of others. Wynn was also a devoted grandmother to her granddaughters. She would have camps with them at the farm in Conyers with horseback riding, swimming, campfires, ice cream and all kinds of outdoor fun. Wynn was a passionate tennis player, master gardener, equestrian and lover of animals, her home was filled with warmth, kindness, laughter, antiques, dogs, cats, horses and even an orphaned flying squirrel.
