Born November 18, 1923, in Crabtree, she was the daughter of the late Anthony and Maria (D'Attilo) Mucci.
During World War II, Til was proud to be a "Rosie the Riveter" as part of the war effort, having made and tested hand grenades at Paragon Manufacturing Co. in Derry. Til was a member of St. Rose Church and its Rosary Altar Christian Mothers and had also served on Parish Council. Prior to her retirement, she was employed at the office of Dr. Anita Bigo, Chiropractor, and had also been employed at Strickler Drug Store. Til was a member and past president of the St. Anthony Society Ladies Auxiliary. Those who knew her would agree that Til was "one sweet lady."
Along with her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Steve P. Krinock; a granddaughter, Malia Ciocco Krinock; six brothers, Nicolena, Alfred, Albert, Anthony, John "Blackie," and Joseph Mucci; and one sister, Yolanda Mucci.

Krinock, and his wife, Donna, of Bradenville; one daughter, Angela Murin, and her husband, Joseph, of Canonsburg; one sister, Mary Lowry of Latrobe; five grandchildren, Kristi Shoenberger, Shanon Catello (Richie), Sarah Krinock (Eric), Rhiannon Krinock, and Kirk A. Krinock (Megan); and eight great-grandchildren, Justin, Brandon, Ally, Preston, Sophia, Kenzie, Layla, and Riley.
The family would like to extend a special thanks to Amedysis Hospice for their excellent care and compassion.
