Obituary For Mary Elizabeth Krieger

Age 98, left this earth to be with Jesus on Monday, February 3, 2025. She resided in Mt. Lebanon and was married to the late John C. “Jack” Krieger for 70 years.

Mary was the beloved mother of 5 children; Rich (Peggy) of Powhatan, VA, Bill of Brentwood, Nancy (Bruce) Christopher of Whitehall, Linda Bench of Cranberry and the late Don (survived by Kathy) of Baldwin. Mary was the daughter of the late Leo and Catherine Schertzinger and the sister of the late Catherine, Ruth, Rita and Irene. She was deeply cherished by her 10 grandchildren and her 24 great-grandchildren. Mary is also survived by many nieces and nephews.

Mary was born in Pittsburgh and spent her entire life in the South Hills. She was a stay-at-home mother, devoted wife and a close confidant of her children. She earned her “Sweetie” nickname due to her ever-pleasant personality and warmth. Her greatest joy was her ever-expanding and harmonious family. She was generous with multiple charities and a devoted woman of faith.

    Rich, Bill. Nancy. Linda and Family, I am so sorry for your loss of "Sweetie" and if anyone deserved to be called Sweetie it was your Mom. I have so many happy memories of your Mom and Dad. They were so generous, loving and a perfect match. They were so good to Rich and I when we visited Pittsburgh. They couldn't do enough for us. I will miss our weekly conversations and I never knew your Mom to EVER say anything bad about anyone! What a legacy and example Aunt Mary left for all of us. May God give all of you the strength to get through this very difficult time. Rest in Peace Aunt Mary with Uncle Jack, Don and all your families in Heaven. You will be missed very much by all of us. We love you. God Bless the Krieger Family.
