Jennifer L. Krock

Jennifer (Jenny) Lee Krock, 61, of Lindenhurst, IL passed away unexpectedly Friday, December 29, 2023. Jennifer was born in Chicago, IL on August 23, 1962, to the late Patrick and Virginia (Robinson) Walsh. Jennifer graduated from Good Counsel High School in 1980. She soon met and married her husband of 40 years, Dean Krock, in 1981. Later that year their first child, Sarah, was born. After moving to Lake County in 1985, their second daughter, Jessica, was born in 1989. Jennifer worked in medical equipment sales for Baxter Healthcare in Deerfield, IL where she retired after 30 years in 2021. Jennifer was an avid outdoor and nature lover, gardener, and bird watcher. She also enjoyed collecting antiques, camping, hiking, kayaking, reclaiming furniture, thrifting, and plants and flowers of all kinds. She loved her family, helping others, volunteering in the community, and was a friendly neighbor to all. Jennifer will be forever remembered for her very kind and generous nature and her profound thoughtfulness. She will be forever missed by all who had the chance to know and love her. She is survived by her loving daughters Sarah (Rick) Foster and Jessica (Kerry) Holsinger; her 6 grandchildren: Evan, Dean, Kaytlyn, Vivian, Weston, and Riley; by her brother Patrick Walsh; and sisters Kathleen (Walsh) Tuffner, and Elizabeth (Walsh) Sloan. Jennifer was preceded in death by her loving husband Dean, and by her mother Virginia Walsh, and father Patrick J. Walsh. Her family is comforted that they are now together again. Her Journey Don’t think of her as gone away, her journey’s just begun, life holds so many facets, this earth is only one. Just think of her as resting, from the sorrow and the tears, in a place of warmth and comfort, where there are no days and years. Think how she must be wishing, that we could know today, how nothing but our sadness can really pass away. And think of her as living, in the hearts of those she touched, for nothing loved is ever lost, and she was loved so much. Memorial visitation to celebrate Jennifer’s life will be held from 10 AM - 1 PM Saturday, January 13, 2024 at Ringa Funeral Home, 122 S. Milwaukee Ave. Lake Villa, IL. A memorial service will begin at 1 PM at the funeral home. Please sign the online guestbook and/or send flowers to RINGA FUNERAL HOME.
