Kristen A. “Krissy” Sklarow of Bensalem passed away after a lengthy illness on Tuesday, November 28, 2017 at St. Mary Medical Center. She was 57. Born and raised in Drexel Hill, Krissy attended St. Dorothy Elementary School and was a 1978 graduate of Cardinal O’Hara High School. She has resided in Bensalem for the past 30 years. Krissy was a loving wife to Jay and devoted mother to her two children, Kerryn and Stephen. She was always there to support them in their education and extra curricular activities throughout all facets of their lives. She was as proud as can be at watching her children graduate from college and become responsible adults. Krissy was a homemaker, but earlier in her career she worked in the accounting department at MAB Paints at their main office in Broomall. Krissy was outstanding with numbers, and very meticulous as her accounting friends can attest. Some of her greatest memories were spending time at the family beach home in Brigantine. She also enjoyed skiing and dancing and most of all laughing. Her food was delicious and she loved the holidays and family vacations. Even throughout her illness, Krissy was a fun loving person who had a great sense of humor and was always the life of the party. She truly cherished time with her friends. Krissy is the beloved wife of 29 years to Jay Sklarow and the loving mother of Kerryn L. Sklarow (fiancé, Kyle Sibley) and Stephen E. Sklarow. She is also survived by her sister, Kathleen Nugent (Bernie); brother Bill Berry (Mary); numerous nieces and nephews; her aunt, Pat Heward and her cousin, Jeffrey Heward.
