About Ruth McCrane

  • Biography

    NOTE:

    I am sad to report to you that Dr. Ruth Mae McCrane died Feb. 23, 2002
    at her Houston home from brain and lung cancer. She was 73.

    I am a photographer with the Houston Chronicle. I photographed Ms. McCrane for an article that ran Oct. 21, 2001. Her obit ran Feb. 28, 2002.

    Shortly after the story in Oct., she was diagnosed with a brain and lung tumor. Since the diagnoses, she had been undergoing chemo. Prior to
    that she had always enjoyed good health. I visited her often.

    Although I only knew her for a short time, she made quite an impression
    on me. I meet many interesting people thru my job, but I must say she
    was the most vibrant soul I have ever met. I will always remember her.

    Thank yo...

    But wait, there's more...
