Obituary for Elizabeth Ann Krone (Slaski)
Elizabeth A. Krone, 89 of Hurley passed away peacefully on Friday, October 7th, at the Westgate Nursing, Rehabilitation, and Assisted Living Facility in Ironwood, MI.
Liz, or Betty as some referred to her as, was born December 27, 1933, to Frank and Theresa Slaski. Liz attended St. Mary's Catholic School and graduated from Lincoln High School with the class of 1951. She later attended Gogebic Community College.
On October 24, 1953, she married the love of her life, Gustaf R. Krone at St. Mary's Catholic Church with Monsignor Prock officiating the ceremony. They shared 55 wonderful years together.
Throughout her life, Liz worked a variety of jobs including Michigan Bell Telephone, Astronautics, Mrofchaks Clothing Store, Carlson's Supermarket, and The Ironwood Daily Globe. Liz enjoyed being an active member in the community having taken part in the Ironwood Jr. Women's Club, Hurley Library Club, PTA, Booster Club, Hurley Area Little League, Cub Scouts, Legion Lanes Bowling, and the Iron County Development Council.
Among the things Liz loved the most, camping at Crystal Lake with family and friends was at the top of her list along with golfing at Eagle Bluff with her husband Gus and close friends Tony and Rosalee Kutz. She would let you know the score... when she won.
