Kathleen McCrackin

Kathleen McCrackin died on September 26, 2023, in Bedford, NH, in the comfort of her home, surrounded by her loving family.

Born on November 15, 1946, she is the daughter of the late Patrick and Victoria Harty. The wife of James McCrackin, the young couple was married on February 14, 1973 in Manchester, NH.

Kathleen was a loving mother, wife, and sister. She was an experienced gardener; roses and orchids were her favorite.

With endless love for her grandchildren and great grandchild, she always did her best not to miss any special moments. Our hearts are heavy at her passing a void that will never be filled. We take comfort with all the happy memories and joy she brought to this world. She will be remembered for her favorite food, Mexican, that brought her back to her childhood, the long rides and conversations with her son, Jay, the poolside BBQ’s with Angela and the early morning's out to breakfast with Seana.

        Kathleen is survived by husband, James, with whom she shared over 50 years of marriage; four children, Seana McCrackin and fiancé Mike, Jay McCrackin, Angela Lawrence and husband Brian, Maria Sores and husband Paul; three siblings, Pat Harty and wife Sue, Paul Harty and wife Roberta, and Diane Harty; seven grandchildren Brady, Rileigh, Carolyn, Abby, Jacob, Aaron, and Felicia; and one grandchild, Claudia.

        “Because I have loved life, I shall have no sorrow. I have sent my gladness on wings to be lost in the blue sky. I have run and jumped in the rain. I have taken wind to my breast.” -Amelia Josephine Burr
