Mary Beverly Krug

Mary Beverly Hoffmann Krug was born in Washington, DC on December 19, 1923 to Fritz Dietz Hoffmann and Elizabeth Eva Hoffmann. She grew up in a large, loving family with nine brothers and sisters. A spirited middle child, Mary spent her youth in active pursuits like shimmying down drain spouts and playing football in Seward Square. Mary embraced adventure and lived life to the fullest! In her late teens, she met the love of her life, Harold, and they married in August 1942. They settled in DC and produced eight vivacious children of their own. The family moved to Suitland, MD in 1966 and then La Plata, MD in 1979. In her younger years, Mary had active roles in church serving on various committees. She was ‘Room Mom’ for most, if not all of her children, and welcomed anyone into her home that needed TLC. Mary was a joyful presence in her colorful clothes with matching socks, various bingo bags and associated ‘lucky charms’ that complemented her bubbly personality. She loved her faith, family and friends, and filled the home with laughter, warmth and kindness. Mary was preceded in death by her husband, Harold Krug; her son, John Krug; sons-in-law, Sam Carter and Michael De Fino; grandson, Brad Krug; her parents; and her siblings. She is survived by her children Maria (Anthony) Corio, David (JoAnn) Krug, Marsha Krug, Judith De Fino, Beverly Carter, James (Graciela) Krug, William (Margaret) Krug, and Carol (Tony) Ricciardi.
