Kelly Dowdall Obituary

Kelly was at Res when my son was born almost 11 years ago and was always a dear friend to my sister ,her collegue. I was glad i spoke to her in April about our fight to beat the cancer. We laughed and cried and she told ME how brave I was. She too, was brave and gave me extra strength. I am happy we crossed paths and shared many same thoughts.Her spirit will remain always.With the sincerest love to you,Matt, and kids.

Matt, You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. I worked with Kelly. She was such a loving and caring nurse as well as a wonderful mom. She was so proud of her family. I remember your wedding, she was so happy. We will miss her smiling face. Mary and Dan Buckley

Dear Matt and the kids,

I am so sorry for your loss, as you know...there are no words. I was blessed to have known Kelly and truly enjoyed working with her (& walking the dogs together). She was one of a kind!

Love, Jodi (and Michael) Ruemelin

They do not leave us;

they are not gone.

They walk among the valleys now,

they stride upon the hill.

Their smile is in the summer sky,

their grace is in the breeze.

Their memories whisper in the grass

their calm is in the trees.

Their light is in the winter snow

their tears are in the rain.

Their merriment runs in the brook

their laughter in the lane.

Their gentleness is in the flowers,

they sigh in autumn leaves.

They do not leave;

they are not gone,

'Tis only we who grieve.





May Kelly rest in peace.

Dear Tom,

Please accept my sympathy on your loss. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.



Sincerely,



Laura Grunwald

Dear Matt and Kids,

Kelly was a wonderful easy going person to work with. She always had a twinkle in her eye and laughed at my corny jokes. I can still hear her laughing and saying "Kaz you crack me up!"

God bless you and keep you strong.

Dear Dowdall Family,



I had the pleasure of working with Kelly at Resurrection, she was a compasionate, caring nurse, who did an excellent job. When I had my daugher 16 1/2 years ago she was there for me when I needed her. God Bless your Family, you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Matt,Maeve,Maggie and Matt Jr.,

I am deeply sorry for your loss. Kelly was a great nurse, and friend.

We were pregnant at the same time (she was pregnant with Maggie) and working night shift together. We then went on to deliver our baby girls on the same day. Kelly had a wonderful,caring heart. I'm honored to have known her and loved her. God bless you.

Dear Matt, Maeve, Maggie and Matt Jr., Bill and I want to express our heartfelt condolences on losing Kelly. I always enjoyed talking to her when we lived in Chicago, whether I saw her on one of her walks or picking up our kids from St. Mary's. She was always smiling !!! She was a sweet soul who dearly loved her children and was so proud of Matt's accomplishments on the Chicago Fire Department. We have been praying for you and your family for quite some time now and we will continue to do so. Anything you need, Bill and I are here ~ With all of our love - Mary and Bill Nicholl
