Listen to Obituary
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.
Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, March 28, at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints chapel, 2245 E. 3900 S., Salt Lake City, Utah 84124.

we are so sorry to hear of our childhood and teenage friend Nancy to have passed away. We send our sincerest condolences to her family.♥️
Isaac and Caroline, I am sorry for your loss of your beautiful mom. I so enjoyed listening to her obituary. You were blessed with such a talented loving mom.
Love you both, Sue
Dear Caroline I am so sorry to read about the death of your mom. Caroline you look so much like your mom. I wish I could be there to wrap my arms around you. Instead I send my love and prayers and hope this in some way helps a little. It will be very hard for some time but she is with our Lord and God and that is some comfort. I wish I could have met her. Your mother was an amazing person leaving an extraordinary legacy for her children and grandchildren. I will be in prayer for you and your brother at the time of services. God Bless ! Mrs Ruby
I loved growing up with Nancy Jenkins! She always brought a smile and a laugh to everyone she met! So full of fun, energy, and fearlessness! So talented in modern dance and music, and so very smart and educated! She grew into a beautiful missionary and found her true love in helping others less fortunate. Later on in life our paths crossed again in Springville when we moved into her ward! There, I met her beloved children who meant everything to her!!! 🤍🤍
Sending my eternal friendship and love to her children and siblings. We’ll see here again…thanks to our loving Savior, Jesus Christ. 🌿

Sending my heartfelt love and condolences to Caroline and Issac and all the Jenkins family. Nancy was so talented, gifted, intelligent, capable and darling. She was a devoted mother and grandmother. She was a loyal friend. She loved the Lord, her family and friends. Her smile was endearing and her quick wit made things fun. She was always so kind to me. I cherish the many, many memories I have with Nancy. Sadly, I will not be able to be at her funeral next week. I will be helping with grandkids in NC. My heart is grieving. I will miss sharing in the celebration of her remarkable life with all of you.
My heart is heavy as I send my sincere condolences to Isaac and Caroline and other family members. Stay the course you two. Love you both. 🌹🇺🇲
I met Nancy late in her short life. I had the pleasure visiting her several times and I was able to help her with a few things. I saw in her a unique power and a deep caring for her Savior. She was a sweet person with a great power of conversation. She would always inquire about you and ask for details as she chatted. I discovered that she liked the Fillets-o-Fish at MacDonalds on a couple of trips back and forth to the Emergency Room at the hospital. She was in poor health the entire time I knew her and my heart went out to her in her moments of distress. I’m glad I was able to get to know Nancy. Even though she may have been ill I was still able to see greatness and a powerful testimony within her. I send my sympathies to her family. I take comfort in knowing that she is no longer tormented by her illnesses.
My sincere sympathy to you and your family. I pray for the strength of our Savior will be with you and your family family.
I met Nancy when she attended my graduate consulting class at BYU. The task of the class was to act as real advisors in providing large institutional sources of funding for FINCA, a global microfinance orgnanization. As the leader of the team, Nancy displayed rare, unparallelled, and remarkable leadership. We followed her on various projects and jobs after she graduated. She was passionate about the causes of social justice. But more than that, she was even more devoted, absolutely devoted, to her son and daughter. I never met them. But I feel like I know them well. I wonder if they really know how much she gave for them? I cannot say. Perhaps they will never know. For all of her fine career accompishments, in my opinion, she did not receive the recognition she deserved. Nor did she find a job worthy of her world class talents. Somehow, she seemed to blame herself when anything did not go perfectly. Few will ever know the gem that we have just lost. This world was never meant for one as beautiful as Nancy.
My mom Florence and I had the privilege of meeting Nancy in Sri Lanka and I Angeline visited her family home in Salt Lake city. She was full of fun and had a very big heart. Our deepest condolences to Nancy Jenkins Krieger's Family. She is free from pain and suffering. May God have mercy on her soul and grant her eternal rest .
Dear Caroline and Isaac,
How grateful I am to have known your wonderful mom in this life. She was always a joy to be around, her funny humor and great laugh always made me smile. Her testimony of the Savior was amazing and will continue to touch so many lives on her next chapter of life beyond the veil. May you both know how proud she was of both of you and how deeply she loved being your mom!
Praying you will find peace and strength as you navigate this difficult change.
Much love your way ❤️
Dear Kreiger Family:
Your dear mother taught our son Keith on the violin. This was back in the day in 1998-99 before we moved to Idaho. We have always loved your mother and thought highly of her. Our condolences.
Sincerely,
Craig and Elizabeth Crandall

I’m so sorry to hear of Nancy’s passing. She was my first American friend and missionary companion in my native country of Singapore. She was tenacious, creative, adventurous, hardworking, had a quick wit and a great sense of humor, and was kind to me. I will miss her so much but have faith that I will see her again. May God’s blessings of peace and strength be with her loved ones.
Dear Diane, Carolyn, Julie, David, Isaac & Caroline, We were so saddened to hear of the passing of your sweet mother and sister, Nancy. What a spunky and fun-loving person we have always known her to be - and how sorry we were to hear of her recent health challenges and sudden decline. Our hearts go out to you at this time of great loss, and are sorry we could not be there to attend her services or to hug you all in person. Our memories of the many years we spent camping, boating, and traveling together will always be some of our most cherished. Know that you will always be in our hearts and prayers.
With much love ~
