Born on Tuesday, February 4, 1936 in Hanover, she was the daughter of the late Emma Mumma. A graduate of Delone Catholic High School, she spent 50 years in the jewelry business, with the last 38 years as owner and operator of Janette Jewelers. She was a member of St. Joseph Catholic Church where she often served as greeter for Sunday Mass.

Dedicated to her craft, she was a member of the Diamond Council of America, the Jewelers of America and the Pennsylvania Jewelers Association. Active within her community, she volunteered with the Dutch Days Festival and the Main Street initiatives and held memberships with the Hanover Elks BPOE #763, the McSherrystown Loyal Order of Moose #720 and the Amvets Post 59 Ladies Auxillary. She enjoyed an active lifestyle which included golf, cooking and logging in over 75,000 bicycle miles. She was devoted in her faith and recited the rosary every afternoon. Her time was always focused, whether she was assisting customers, appraising jewelry or stringing pearls.

In addition to her husband of nearly 61 years, she is survived by three sons, Steven Krenzer of Hanover, Kevin Krenzer of Cockeysville, MD and Eric Krenzer of Hanover; a daughter, Michelle Good of Raleigh, NC; seven grandchildren, five great-grandchildren; her twin sister, Jean Mumma of Hanover and two nephews.
