Carol Kreck, a former Denver Post reporter who served the newspaper and its readers for more than three decades, especially as a longtime child advocate in a beat she created at the paper, died suddenly Monday in her Denver home. She was 75.

“We were raised to really fight the man. She wanted to be known as the “bandit granny,’ ” said Molly Kreck, her daughter.

Virginia Culver, a former longtime religion writer for the Post and friend and colleague of Kreck’s, attended a court hearing when the Denver trespassing case was still ongoing. Culver recalled having breakfast at a restaurant on the 16th Street Mall where the music was being played too loud. The two friends spontaneously, and loudly, broke into song. The restaurant music, in turn, was turned off.When Denver Post Editor Lee Ann Colacioppo started at the Post in 1999, she worked directly with reporter Kreck.
