DES MOINES, Iowa (KCCI) — A longtime UnityPoint Health nurse and mom has died just days after getting her final wish to see her son graduate from college.
Becky Cretsinger was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2011. She had a wish after years of battling the disease: seeing her son Zac graduate from the University of Iowa.
The university sent a representative Friday night to hold a special graduation ceremony for her son Zac in her hospital room in Des Moines.
Cretsinger passed away Sunday night.
Zac is set to officially graduate in May.
