Annabelle Krupke, 96, Paynesville
Annabelle Elizabeth (Theel) Krupke, 96, of Paynesville passed away on Dec. 4, 2023, with her son and granddaughter by her side at the Koronis Manor. A memorial service will be held starting at 1 p.m. on Saturday, April 27, 2024, at Salem Church near Paynesville. Reverend Ric Koehn will preside. Burial will take place at the church cemetery. Visitation will take place one hour prior to services at the church. Ann was born to Harold Alvin Theel and Bernice Catherine Pinch on Oct. 23, 1927, in Paynesville, Minn. She had 14 siblings: Donald, Carl, Denton, Milton, Lloyd, Floyd, Tom, Fay, Norman, Dorothy, Myron, Victor (Jackie), Andrea, and Judy. Ann married William Adolph Krupke on Feb. 18, 1957, in Tampa, Fla. They had two sons, Darryl and Brady, as well as three stepdaughters, Peggy, Gloria, and Paulette, from William's previous marriage. Ann had a full and happy life. She was an extremely hard worker and all about her family. Ann was a strong determined woman who never stopped moving. She was a role model to her family, showing her strength against life's challenges, and we loved her greatly. Through obstacles or injuries, she never stopped and always showed her spirit. Ann enjoyed building cabins with her husband and splitting time between their place in Florida, cabin on Lake Koronis, and a farm outside of Paynesville. She enjoyed working as a waitress/hostess at Perkins, working at the State Fair for many years, and was the owner of Hilltop Video. After her husband passed, she loved spending time at her place in North Fort Myers, Fla., and coming back to stay with her family in Minnesota for the summers. Some of her favorite hobbies included playing cards, bowling, dancing, playing piano, going to the casino, and visiting friends and family. Always on the move, Ann could be found the last six years roaming the halls of Koronis Manor or trying to sneak off to Casey's! Her fiery personality, white cotton hair, and steely blue eyes will not be forgotten. She left behind a growing family and has made a lasting mark. Annabelle's family would like to extend a special thank you to all her caregivers at Koronis Manor over the years. We appreciate you! Annabelle Elizabeth Theel is survived by her son, Brady; five granddaughters, Nikki Green, Christa Krupke, Alicia (Scott) Varner, Erin Krupke, Shelly Worrel (Scott), and Cami (Brian) Schwantz; and three grandsons, Jay (Kristy) Jones, Chad (Lisa) Renwick, and Cory Renwick. She also has 14 great-grandchildren and three great-great grandchildren; numerous nieces and nephews; and five siblings, Carl (Laura) Theel, Denton Theel, Fay (Eileen) Theel, Norman Theel, and Judy (Theel) Espelund. Her heavenly angels waiting to greet her are her parents, Harold and Bernice Theel; husband, Bill Krupke; son, Darryl Krupke; granddaughters Kayla Krupke and Tiffany (Krupke) Gnirck; and siblings Donald Theel, Lloyd Theel, Floyd Theel, Milton Theel, Tom Theel, Andrea Calendar, Dorothy Theel, Myron Theel, and Jackie Theel. We will always carry your memory in our hearts!
