Edith Gertrude Kronk (1943-2025)

Edith Gertrude Good Kronk, 81, passed away on March 20th, 2025. She was born on August 14, 1943 and grew up in Baden before marrying the love of her life, Robert G. Kronk II. Together they shared a life filled with love, joy and memories that will forever live on. Edith is survived by her two daughters, Robin (John) Delach and Rosalyn (Chris) Mann and a very special foster daughter, Deborah (Craig) Custard. Edith was a grandmother to four grandchildren, Jackalyn (Josiah) Kovac, John Robert (Alecia) Delach, Jason Delach and Lily Mann, as well as a great-grandmother to Tanner Delach, Guinevere and Liam Kovac. She is also survived by her brother, John (Cathy) Good, her brother-in-law, Jim (Kim) Kronk and her sister-in-law, Christine Kronk. Edith loved her many nieces, nephews and cousins, all of whom will remember her fondly. She was preceded in death by her loving husband, Robert G. Kronk II, her parents, LeRoy Good and Gertrude Hoffman, her in-laws, Robert and Sue Kronk, her brother, Clark Good, her brother-in-law, Rev. Ronald Kronk and sister-in-law, JoLynn Kronk. Edith is now reunited with those she loved and who had gone before her. Edith was an active volunteer at several local churches throughout her life including New Sewickley Presbyterian Church and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Baden. She was a proud supporter of local music and theater productions at Freedom Area High School and enjoyed the various shows that included the talents of family and family friends over the past several decades. In her quiet time, you could find Edith reading a book or tending to her “pretty posies” outside her home. She loved teaching and enjoyed sharing the word of the Lord through numerous Sunday School classes. Edith filled her life with love and music and shared that with her family. She touched the lives of so many and will be remembered by all who knew her. A Celebration of Life memorial service will be held at New Hope Lutheran Church in Economy Borough on Saturday, March 29th. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the New Hope Scholarship Fund, 200 Second Avenue, Freedom, PA 15042 in her honor, a cause close to her heart. Arrangements are entrusted to the William Murphy Funeral Home, Inc., 349 Adams Street, Rochester.
