Janelle Krueger, 96, passed away on January 4, 2019. She completed her registered nurses (RN) training at St. Luke's Hospital in Cleveland, Ohio in 1948. Janelle married Ray Edgar Krueger in 1943. They moved to New Jersey, Maryland and Washington DC for her husband’s career as a radio/electrical engineer at the Bell Labs and the National Bureau of Standards. During that time, Janelle's work as a public health nurse took her from laundromats to embassies to tuberculosis treatment settings to continuing education at Catholic University. When the National Bureau of Standards (now NIST) moved its major laboratories from Washington, DC to Boulder in 1950, they moved again. In 1952 Janelle continued her public health nursing career at the Boulder City-County Health Department. From 1958 to 1966 she served as Director of the Public Health Nursing Division, where she was recognized for her outstanding service in the field of public health in the county, the state and on national councils. She earned a B.S. degree in Nursing with special honors in 1957 and a M.S. in Nursing in 1958 at the University of Colorado-Boulder. After completing her Ph.D. in Sociology at CU-Boulder in 1969, Janelle accepted a faculty position at the University of Arizona's College of Nursing in Tucson. In 1976 she returned to Boulder where she served as Director of the Nurse Scientist program at the Western Interstate Commission on Higher Education (WICHE). In 1984 she was recruited by ASU to serve as Dean of the ASU College of Nursing, a position which she held until her retirement and return to Boulder in 1992 at age 70. Janelle pioneered nursing research, teaching and practice in the areas of quality of care assurance in nursing, development and funding of statewide healthcare services for underserved communities including aging and mental health care services, development of ethics guidelines for research with human subjects, integration of Native American healing traditions into nursing education and practice, the advancement of nursing research utilization across health care settings and the promotion of universal, single-payer health care and pay equity for nurses. She authored/co-authored numerous books, book chapters and professional journal articles across this range of issues and played an active role in advancing the missions of the professional organizations to which she belonged. Janelle is survived by a daughter, brother, nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her husband, Ray E. Krueger, three brothers, a sister and nephews.
