Carolyn Ann Krob
Carolyn Ann “Nana” Krob, 76, of Marion passed away, November 14, 2024. Per Carolyn’s wishes, services will not be held. Iowa Cremation is assisting the family.
Carolyn was born on April 20, 1948, in Monticello, Iowa, the daughter of Howard Bernard and Mary Ann (Cole) Kurth. She married Paul Eugene Krob on August 11, 1995, in Nashua, Iowa. Carolyn retired from Quaker Oats / Pepsico in 2015. Her grandchildren were her pride and joy. Carolyn could often be found sitting in the front row at her grandchildren’s activities and hitting up garage sales in the area. She was a natural care giver to anyone in need. Carolyn loved hosting events and entertaining her guests.
Survivors include her husband, Paul of Cedar Rapids; children, Joshua (Ruth) Smith of Lisbon, Heidi (Grant) Whitney of Marion, and Amber (Joe) Heims of Toddville; grandchildren, Wyatt, Maci, Addi, Walker, Hadley, Lakin, and Rowan; sisters, Betty Boyles and Kathy Hankemeier; and brothers, Paul, James, Kenneth, Mike, and Ernest Kurth.
Preceding her in death were her parents; brothers, Bob, Howard, Albert, and Carl Kurth; a sister and brother in infancy; and special friends, Norma Jean Schuetzle and Lolita Stephens.
The family extends special thanks to Carolyn’s Care Group, her neighbors, and the staff of the Oldorf Hospice House of Mercy for the exceptional care that was given to Carolyn.
In lieu of flowers, donations are encouraged to the Oldorf Hospice House of Mercy.
