In loving memory of Nancy Susan Krokos
Born December 26th, 1967 – Died April 24th 2025
Nancy was the beloved wife of Jerome "Jerry" Krokos for 30 plus years. She was a devoted mother to Angela (Tyler) Keller, Krystol and Thomas Krokos and a proud grandmother to Marjorie Keller who brought her great joy. The treasured daughter of the late Caesar and Catherine Vercelli, Nancy also was a loving sister to Kenneth Vercelli and Karen (Dan) Dietrich. She was cherished by her extended family of in-laws, nieces, and nephews. Nancy spent her life dedicated to loving those around her. She was the support system for her family and was always there to crack a joke or share her wealth of knowledge. On any given day, you would find her spending time with her family, doing puzzles, going on walks, or cooking fantastic meals and treats. One of the few things that came close to her love for her family was her love for music. She was notorious on the dance floor and loved to have a good time. In May of 2024, Nancy was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. After months of showing immense strength throughout her difficult battle, she passed in her sleep surrounded by her loved ones. Nancy will be remembered as selfless, generous, and one hell of a fighter. She would never admit the impact she had on those around her, but it can be seen by how her memory will live on through the people she loved.
