We are deeply saddened to share the news that our mother, Renee Krekel was called home peacefully yesterday, 8/4/25 at 11:15am surrounded by the embrace of her grandson Gavin and best friend Tina. Renee and her husband, Rick Krekel founded Krekel’s North at the previous Woodford location in 1987. They worked tirelessly for years building their business and giving back to the community.
In recent years, Renee took a step back from the store to focus on some health battles she had been fighting, and spend more time with her beloved grandchildren, Gavin, Gracie, and Sammi. Over the years, Renee touched the lives of many employees, customers, community members, friends, and family ❤️
