Marion "Pookie" Krasney

CHESHIRE- Marion G. “Pookie” Krasney, 74, passed away Saturday, May 21, 2022 at Mid-State Medical Center in Meriden. She was the wife of the late Zane Krasney.

Mrs. Krasney was born July 18, 1947, in Stamford, CT., daughter of the late John Henry and Dorothy Ann (Truax) Glass.

Mrs. Krasney leaves behind her children, Doug Lombardo (Laura) of Wrentham, MA., Kathy Krasney of Hamden, CT. and Kurt Krasney of Waterbury, CT., as well as her brothers, John Glass Jr. (Karen) and Bill Glass (Kathi), and her sister, Katherine Smithwick (Philip). She will be missed by her grandchildren Jack and Charlie Lombardo as well as her many beloved nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, and her closest friends who were like family to her. In addition to her husband and parents, Mrs. Krasney was predeceased by her sister, Barbara Buckley (Dennis).

For all those who knew Pookie, she was one of the kindest, sweetest women you could ever meet. She was a great lover of music with an undying passion for the Beatles and the Bee Gees. To so many, she was a great friend. To some she was a best friend. To fewer she was a mom, sister, aunt, or grandma. She graduated from Cheshire High School class of 1965, and was a proud and dear friend of so many classmates . No matter which group you fell in, she believed in you, was grateful for you, was proud of you and wanted the best for you. And she loved us all. We are grateful for that and will always carry her in our hearts and while we will miss her forever, we cherish the thought that she is reunited with her beloved Zane.
