My deepest sympathy to all of the family. Mrs. Kranawetter was a kind and loving woman. I remember when we first moved to Chino and had her as a neighbor and she kindly sewn together my Jr. High Drill Team uniform for me! She was always sweet that way. I also remember her as always nurturing the beautiful flowers that she would plant in her yard. Sorry for your loss, Randy, Nancy, Tim & families. May her memory bring peace to your hearts.
Hugs through the miles....Mary Ann

I was honored to be in Mrs. Kranawetter's second grade class over 35 years ago. She was my favorite teacher, and she displayed a love for her students and profession that I will never forget. She was one of the reasons I became a teacher myself. When I began my own teaching career over 15 years ago, I called her to thank her for inspiring me to pursue my dream of becoming a teacher. She was so sweet, gave me some valuable advice, and even sent me a gift in the mail. The world lost a lovely soul, but I know her legacy will live on through the countless lives she has touched. Rest in peace dear Mrs. Kranawetter.

We remember when we first met Ruth at church. She instantly liked us and made us feel welcome. She was a wonderful loving wife, mom and grandma. She loved our Lord with all her heart. We are blessed by knowing her and her love for all.

I was saddened to hear about the passing of Mrs. Kranawetter. She was my son Zachary's second grade teacher. His school experience with her was fantastic! As a volunteer in her classroom, I had fun as well, and could tell her relationships with the students was truly special. My thoughts are with Mrs. Kranawetter's family and hope the wonderful memories they had with her will sustain them in this difficult time.
