Jennifer “Jenn” Krieger, 53, of Old Forge, died Thursday at Geisinger CMC in Scranton. Her husband is Daniel Krieger.
Born in Charleston, South Carolina, daughter of Robert and Marie Scomona Passetti, Glen Lyon, she was a graduate of Greater Nanticoke Area High School, where she played flute in the marching band, and Marywood University, where she earned a degree in nutrition. Originally a registered dietician, she later transitioned to a community engagement manager role in the health care service industry. Jenn lived with a remarkable passion to stay active, running five marathons, competing in family pickleball tournaments, instructing “spin” classes, and constantly finding a way to challenge herself. She had a generous spirit, always looking to help others and bring people together by staying involved in her community through organizing fundraising events, serving as PTO president, and volunteering her time to causes such as End Alzheimer’s. Jenn also enjoyed making blankets for loved ones, singing in the St. Ann’s choir, dancing, watching sports, reading, playing mahjong, spending time with her beloved dogs, “Cooper” and “Shortstop,” and going to the beach. She was known for her infectious laugh and for always finding a way to put a smile on the faces of the people she loved, bringing warmth and joy to those around her. For all of her accomplishments and activities, the role she cherished most was being a mother.
Surviving is her son, Aidan, Old Forge, and long-time girlfriend, Abby Thompson, Scranton. Also surviving are her brothers and sisters, Robert P. Passetti Jr. and wife, Tracey, Forty Fort; Susan H. Thomas and fiance, Joseph Foy, Nanticoke; Jeffrey M. Passetti and wife, Adriana, Laflin; April M. Passetti and Bill Shultz, Tunkhannock; Audry Rose Bayhurst and husband, Daniel, Erie; and Alexander D. Passetti, Glen Lyon. She also leaves behind brothers and sisters-in-law, Kevin Krieger, Taylor; Lenore and Billy Boyle, Scranton; and Jonathan and Tanya Krieger; Scranton. She was “Cioci Jenn” to nieces and nephews, Kelly Krieger, Casey Krieger, Logan Krieger, Emma Thomas, Ayla Krieger, Brady Thomas, Apalonia Passetti, London Fenner, Daniel Bayhurst, Dylan Bayhurst, Mason Shultz, Cecilia Bayhurst, Charlie Krieger, and Hadley Krieger. She was preceded in death by siblings Charles Z. Passetti and Kristan O. Passetti, grandparents Zigmund C. Scomona, Hedwig Scomona Long, and Avaristo and Arline Passetti, and parents-in-law Leonard and Patricia Krieger.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated Monday at 1:15pm in St. Ann's Basilica, Scranton. Interment, SS Peter & Paul Cemetery, Taylor. Friends may call starting at 10am in the Thomas J Hughes FH Inc, 1240 St. Ann St, Scranton.

My heart is sorrowful for you Daniel, Aidan and the rest of Jenn's family. I don't think I have ever seen such a big smile that went right along with her big heart. She was an amazing person so full of passion and giving. It was a joy to have known her and some of the work we shared together early in her career at PointClickCare. My you find peace and comfort in your memories in the days to come, and when you think of her, think of her big, beautiful smile and know that heaven is filling with laughter.

I'm struggling to find the words because I'm simply heartbroken. Jenn was one of my closest friends, and there was rarely a day that we didn't talk. We shared hours and hours of conversations about work, life, family, and everything in between.
She loved her family fiercely. Every call included stories about Aidan and her husband, and she always spoke about them with so much pride and joy. She was so excited about Aidan's future and spoke often about how much she cared for his girlfriend as well.
Jenn was one of the kindest people I have ever known. She led with empathy, gave without hesitation, and always saw the good in people. I don't think there was a mean bone in her body. She truly would have given the shirt off her back if it meant helping someone else.
I will miss her deeply. I'm grateful for every conversation, every laugh, and every moment of friendship we shared. She made the world better simply by being in it.

I was privileged and so fortunate to work with Jenn for over 5 years at PointClickCare. She was truly a ray of light in the lives of everyone who was lucky enough to know her. She was thoughtful, kind and caring in a way that made people feel seen, valued and supported. Her heart, kindness and empathy left a lasting impression on so many of us.
She never lit up more than talking about her family, especially her son and my sincerest condolences and thoughts are with he and the rest of the family as they navigate this tremendous loss.
I will always remember her for her kindness, warmth and thoughtfulness. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

Jenn was a beautiful person inside and out. She was caring, passionate and fun. My deepest regrets to Jenn’s family. Aiden - she spoke about you all the time, was always proud of you as a young man. You clearly were and will continue to be the greatest blessing and love to your mom. May you all hold close the special memories and her contagious smile and find peace in the difference Jenn made to those she touched.

My condolences to Dan, Aidan and Jenns entire family. Jenn was a very dear colleague at PCC and became a good friend over the many years that we worked together. Jenn was such a wonderful person in every sense. She lit up the room when she entered, I would tease her that she really had celebrity status because she knew so many people and made them all feel special! The world will just not be the same without her light in it. Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers during this time.

Please accept my deepest condolences for your loss. I had the pleasure of working with Jenn first as a PCC customer, and then later as a colleague. She was wonderful to all of us (not just her department but to the entire company). But I think her favorite was our customers. Jenn was the most customer centric person I've met and they all loved her dearly. Her true caring nature shown through in every interaction she had and the world is lesser because she is not in it. With Sympathy - Jessica Zook, Customer Success Manager

I am deeply saddened to hear about Jenn’s passing. I had the privilege of working with her at PointClickCare over the years, and I will always remember her warmth, kindness, and the incredible passion she brought to everything she touched. She cared deeply about her work and the people around her, and that passion was felt by everyone fortunate enough to work alongside her.
One thing that always stood out was how incredibly proud she was of her son, Aiden. Whenever she spoke about him, you could hear the love and pride in her voice. It was so clear that he meant the absolute world to her.
Jenn was a truly special person who touched so many lives, both personally and professionally. She will be deeply missed. My thoughts and prayers are with Aiden, her family, friends, and everyone who loved her during this incredibly difficult time.

Jenn was such an amazing person who led with empathy and compassion. Her contagious smile and energy always lit up the room.

Jenn will truly be missed.
