Nancy R. Krause

Nancy R. Krause, age 87, of New Berlin, Wisconsin, peacefully passed away on October 12, 2025, just four days shy of her 88th birthday. She has gone home to be with her Savior and Lord, reunited with her beloved husband, Edward Krause Jr., her cherished sons, Edward Krause III and David Krause, and many dear relatives and friends who have gone before her.

Nancy was a woman of deep faith, quiet strength, and a heart full of love. She often reflected on the blessings of her life with gratitude, saying, “Life is short, time is precious, and I owe a debt of gratitude to the many people who have helped me along the way.” Those who knew her will remember her unwavering kindness, her gentle spirit, and the way she made others feel truly seen and valued.

Her life was a testament to love, grace, and perseverance. Nancy’s legacy lives on in the hearts of all who were fortunate to know her.

A service and burial will be held on Thursday, October 30, 2025, at Holy Apostles Church, 16000 West National Avenue, New Berlin, Wisconsin, with visitation from 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM, Mass at 12:00 PM. All who knew and loved Nancy are welcome to attend and celebrate her life.

In lieu of flowers, and to continue Nancy’s legacy of compassion, memorials may be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital or the Wisconsin Humane Society—two causes close to her heart.
