Kathleen Crawford Rueckel

It is with the deepest sadness and caring that I want to share that the light of my life, Kathleen Crawford Rueckel has left on her journey home. My wife, friend, and partner fought the most incredible fight for us to be together forever, but it was not to be. I cannot relay the depth of my loss or yours. Please know she was proud to be a “wink” Mom, but more importantly “Grandma Kath”. I hope you will all tell Kathy stories because I know they will be wonderful. We are all better for having her as a part of our lives. Give us a few weeks to get ourselves together and we will have a party to celebrate my Kath-Ness. I hope you will consider joining us. Kathy was a respected registered nurse and IT professional. Kathy has left on Earth her husband John Rueckel, step-children Justine Maris, Connie Lepre, Lt. John Rueckel, and Jacob Rueckel. Her family Mike and Barbera Crawford and Mark and Kim Crawford will miss her. She very much loved her grandchildren Elliana, Adrian, and Nicolette, along with her nephews Garret, Colin, Casey and niece Evemarie. Oh, and Ruby, her crazy dog. Please think of her often.  Memorial gifts can be made in Kathleen's name in support of Mercy's Critical Care Unit to the Mercy Health Foundation, 301 St. Paul Place, Baltimore, MD 21202 or via www.mdmercy.com/giving
