For over 25 years, Kristie worked in Intensive Care and later as a Patient Care Coordinator at Mercy Medical Center in Cedar Rapids. She was active in the community as a Girl Scout leader and coached youth t-ball, basketball, and softball. Kristie was a member of the Mechanicsville United Methodist Church. Kristie was a caring, loving person. Her girls and Matt were the loves of her life. She was called "Mom" by many of Callie and Cammie's friends. Kristie loved her cats, road trips with Matt on the Harley, dark chocolate, traveling, shopping, and "snuggling" with her daughters. Kristie's focus and joy in life was helping others - that's just who she was. In lieu of flowers, a memorial has been established, and may be sent to the Kristie Crandall Memorial Fund, Attn: Rick Weber, Wells Fargo Bank, 150 First Avenue N.E., Cedar Rapids, IA 52401.

Matt & Girls Your in my thoughts and prayers. I just loved going to ICU and always seeing Kristie she was a ray of sunshine. Kristie will be dearly missed.
Thanks to Kristie,I was able to see Sister Suzy,in the ICU when other Nurses wouldn’t let Me in, She just smiled, and said He’s with Me, that week I didn’t need to even stop at the Nurses station, At work, Home, Or in School, I had an EXCEPTIONAL Classmate, We shared the good and bad together, Me for Her, and Her for Me, I need to say She was there for Me when I lost Dad at 17, and I’ll never forget Her support, Truly a gift to have in My life, and to grow with all through Our lives, I’m proud of My “TRUE FRIEND” as well to Your Family, for such a GREAT Lady, I’ll hold Our memories close to My heart, and never have a moment to forget, We have to remember together Our Sweetheart ! Ben.
Callie and Cammie: So sorry to hear about your mom’s passing. She was a terrific nurse. We worked together from 1992-2000 in Critical Care at Mercy. She also held a baby shower for me in 1995 when I got pregnant, and hauled me up out of a ditch when she came upon a car accident that I was involved in in 2002! I have been praying for her and all of you since I found out about her cancer diagnosis. She had great strength, and loved you both so much. Take care of each other, and take delight in knowing you had a wonderful mother.
