Melva C. Krupa, 83, passed away on May 4th, 2026, at her residence in Potter Township, leaving behind a life that was as warm, witty, and wonderfully mischievous as anyone who ever knew her could remember.

She was born and raised in Ellwood City. She was preceded in death by her parents, Melvin L. and Ladydot Butler, as well as two sisters and a brother. She is survived by her husband of 60 years, Stanley C. Krupa, her daughter, Suzanne Stillwagon, her son, Keith Krupa and his wife, Remilie, her grandson, Khristensen Krupa and his wife, Selena and numerous nieces and nephews who were fortunate enough to know her presence and her unforgettable personality.

After her husband Stanley’s discharge from the U.S. Marine Corps in 1966, the couple moved to Beaver County, where she started a family and a reputation for being the kind of woman who could make an ordinary day feel like a punchline with excellent timing. Melva lived with a heart that seemed to believe in kindness, laughter, and the occasional harmless prank. She was a homemaker who enjoyed crocheting and gardening, both of which suited her perfectly, because she had the patience to create something beautiful and the stubbornness to keep it alive. She also loved vacationing at the beach in Nags Head, North Carolina, a place that clearly held a special place in her heart. One of the memorable quotes associated with her was, “She will see everyone in Nags Head, N.C.,” which sounds less like a statement and more like a cheerful warning from someone who knew she had plans to keep an eye on everybody. She was also a devoted daily shopper, making regular stops at either Giant Eagle or Walmart, which is the sort of dependable routine that says a great deal about a person. Some people collect stamps. Some people collect antiques. Melva collected practical errands and turned them into a social event. She welcomed any stray animal, and she welcomed any animal her daughter Suzanne brought home, which means her household was likely one part home and one part open-door policy for creatures with no better plan. That kind of generosity was simply who she was. She gave freely, loved deeply, and never seemed to out of room for one more person, one more pet, or one more joke. Her sense of humor was tremendous. She loved to play tricks on family members. If laughter is a form of love, then she loved her people loudly.

Friends will be received on Tuesday, May 12th for a service at 1 P.M. at the Locust Grove Cemetery Chapel in Ellwood City. Arrangements have been entrusted to Simpson Funeral and Cremation Services, 1119 Washington Avenue, Monaca.
