Henry Johnsen of the rural New Jersey town of Scotch Plains remembers slain Mount Rainier National Park Ranger Margaret Anderson as “a quiet, reserved person. She was a sweet, loving young woman.”
Johnsen has lived next door to Anderson’s family for more than a decade, and said Monday that he attended Margaret’s wedding to husband Eric six years ago.
He heard the news of her death Sunday when Anderson’s parents, Paul and Dorothy Kritsch, “walked across the driveway arm-in-arm.. It was late in the day. This was a most unusual visit. They walked toward me and I said, ‘This can’t be good.’”
Paul Kritsch asked for Johnsen’s help, for a ride to the airport on Monday morning.
“They told me Margaret had been killed in the line of duty,” Johnsen said.
The family, he said, “is highly respected in the community.”
Dorothy, a nurse, works for a pharamaceutical company and Paul Kritsch is the pastor at Redeemer Lutheran Church in nearby Westfield, NJ.
“They’re just great neighbors and great friends,” Johnsen said.
He recalls meeting with Margaret when she, Eric and their two young children visited last summer.
“As a neighbor and a friend, it’s a tragedy,” he said. “Knowing her as well as I do, it’s unfathomable to know she’s gone and that her husband is left with two children. I know it will mark their parents forever, and I will feel it myself. I feel it right now.”
