Nancy Jenkins Krieger

Nancy Jenkins Krieger, 64, passed away peacefully early Monday morning, March 16, 2026, with her two children by her side.

Nancy was born on May 5, 1961, in Salt Lake City, Utah, to Wallace Jenkins and Anna Lou Dinwoody, the third of five children. Growing up around the foothills of the East Bench area, Nancy was adventurous and the life of the party, making and cherishing lifelong friendships. Nancy loved her time at East High School and later attended the University of Utah (Go Utes!), joining the Chi Omega Sorority and graduating with a degree in Speech Pathology.

Nancy loved her Savior and was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She was called to serve a mission to the Sri Lanka Singapore Mission (a non-proselytizing mission), and to quote a former mission companion, “Nancy was fearless!” Her experience serving a mission built a foundation for a lifetime of service to others and devotion to Jesus Christ. After returning home from her mission, Nancy continued her service by teaching seminary and never missed an opportunity to share her testimony.

Becoming a mother was Nancy’s greatest joy. She adored raising Isaac and Caroline. As some of her happiest childhood memories were summers spent in Colter Bay and Lake Powell, she continued that legacy with her own children. Nancy was an exceptional water skier and snow skier and treasured any time she could get on a pair of skis, especially with her children.

Nancy later attended BYU, going against the Utah grain, and graduated with a Master of Public Administration. She worked as a speech pathologist and specifically chose the school system where she would have the same schedule as her children, allowing her to maximize time with them while providing for her family.

Nancy had a compassionate heart and continued serving communities locally and abroad throughout her life, including opening the Nepal branch of Choice Humanitarian. Nancy was a lifelong lover of music and was multi-talented, playing the piano, singing, and becoming an accomplished violinist. She loved the joy that music brought to those around her and how music brings people together.

Nancy loved becoming a grandmother. Her three beautiful granddaughters were truly the light of her life, and they will miss their Marmie.

Nancy leaves behind her two children, Isaac Krieger and Caroline (Hunter) Brasher; her granddaughters, Sage, Payton, and Elle Brasher; her siblings, Diane (John) Baldwin, Carolyn (Rick) Stevens, Julie (Bob) Crook, and David (Yumi) Jenkins; and many cherished nieces, nephews, and friends, all of whom will miss her dearly. She was preceded in death by her parents.
