On Monday, February 15, 2021, Betty (Kyle) Krajewski, was received into the arms of the Lord at the age of 89. She was born on July 31, 1931 in Elkins, West Virginia. Betty met her husband and love of her life, Edmund Krajewski, Sr. while working at Hinkley Lighting in Cleveland, OH. They were married 57 years, raising their five children in Cleveland and Brunswick and then retiring in Beverly Hills, FL. She returned to OH after the passing of her husband.
Betty enjoyed camping at Roundup Lake, with her family and friends, where she loved to play cards and sing along to music. The sounds of her laughter would envelop you. One of her favorite pastimes was working on crosswords and word searches. She was fearless, adventuresome, and willing to try anything. She was also an excellent storyteller, recounting events and fond memories from her life. Betty loved to cook and bake. She could often be seen running back and forth from the kitchen whipping up delicious Polish sausage, Zupa, or her famous potato salad. She loved her family, surrounding them with unconditional love and attention. She was most proud to be a mother, aunt, grandma, “mee-maw” and great-grandma. As soon as you were in her presence you’d hear, “Come over here and give me a hug!” and receive a big hug filled with the scent of her favorite perfume, Chanel No. 5.
Betty is predeceased by her husband and siblings: Iris “Sis,” Bernice “Beanie,” Jacob “Mack,” and John. She is survived by her children: Jim (Karen) Krajewski, Paula (Mark) Deighton, Ed (Kim) Krajewski, Mark (Becky) Krajewski, and Kristina Stupka, her grandchildren: Eric (Danielle) Krajewski, Devon, Joseph Krajewski, Karley (Jason W.) Krajewski, Jamie (Russell) Tischer, Vaughn (Amanda) Krajewski, Mishael Deighton, Katherine (Michael) Riordan, Samantha (Gabe C.) Krajewski, and Raymond Stupka, her nieces and nephews, as well as 16 great-grandchildren. Rest in Heaven, Betty.
A wake will be held February 24, 2021 at Craciun Funeral Home 14925 E. Bagley Rd. Middleburg Heights from 2-4pm followed by a memorial service. Please consider making a donation on behalf of Betty Krajewski to the Alzheimer’s Association.
