Registered as a doctor 3 May 1897. Born in Palmerston, Otago 1 Jan 1873. Commenced work at Waimate and died there on Thursday 28 November 1918, aged 45, of pneumonia from influenza during the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic. Dr Cruickshank was already tried and overworked but she responded magnificently to the needs of the district. When her driver fell ill she travelled by bicycle or horse and gig to attend to her patients. She not only gave medical care to her patients but attended to any of their urgent domestic tasks such as feeding babies and milking cows. She was one of fourteen New Zealand doctors who lost their lives during the pandemic, and one of the seventeen people who died in Waimate. The people of Waimate lined the streets as her cortege passed. She had been 22 years in Waimate, where she was greatly esteemed for personal as well as professional qualities. In gratitude for her work, a marble statue was erected in the town in 1923. The statue's inscription - "The beloved physician, faithful until death".
