Krone

KRONE, Vivian (nee) DeSanto, age 80, of Fort Lee, passed away peacefully on October 25, 2022 surrounded by her family. Vivian is survived by her husband Joseph Thomas, whom she was married to for forty-seven years, son Joseph Michael, daughter Allyson, daughter in-law Jessica, grandchildren Kennedy and Braydon, sister Joan, and brothers George and John, as well as many loving in-laws, cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends. She is predeceased by her brother Richard, mother, Agnes, and father, Vincent DeSanto.

Vivian grew up in West New York, where she attended St. Joseph's High School, met Joseph Krone, who she would later marry, and many lifelong friends. She later spent thirty years working for the West New York Board of Education as a devoted and passionate teacher. Upon retirement, Vivian shared her time between Fort Lee, Lauderdale by-the-Sea (Florida), and Seaside Park, where she enjoyed traveling, reading (often with her book club), socializing, going to the pool and beach, volunteering, and spending time with her many loved ones, especially her grandchildren Kennedy and Braydon.

Vivian lived life to the fullest and would do anything for her family, friends, and community. She made everyone who knew her laugh and smile at all the stories she shared. Our family is grateful to know that Vivian is finally at peace. Visitation will be held at the A.K. Macagna Funeral Home in Cliffside Park on Monday, October 31st, from 4-8 PM. The Funeral Mass will be at Our Lady of Grace Church in Fairview on Tuesday, November 1, at 10:00 AM. Following the Mass will be the burial at Fairview Cemetery in Fairview, N.J
