Jennifer Ann (Krupke) Beck

Jennifer Ann Krupke Beck, beloved wife, mother, and sister passed away peacefully in her home in Hartford, WI.

Born on October 12th in 1963 to parents Ralph & Patricia, Jennifer attended the University of Wisconsin-Stout and received a degree in Hotel & Restaurant Management. During her time at Stout, she was captain of the swim team and earned All American honors 14 times. After graduation, she moved to Chicago, and began her career in club management.

Over the course of her career, Jennifer fostered a rich and far-reaching social circle through her network of professional partners and friends. Jennifer was an active member of the Club Management Association of America, and could often be found organizing and attending professional and social CMAA events. As an award-winning professional, a prominent member of the industry, and an accomplished club manager, Jennifer had every right and reason to be proud of her success. Nevertheless, Jennifer was well-known for her humility, selflessness, kindness, and for placing others’ needs before her own. Those that had the privilege of knowing and working with Jennifer were invariably drawn to her exceptionally kind and caring spirit.

Outside of work, Jennifer led a rich and diverse life. Being a mother was one of Jennifer’s greatest joys, and she was deeply passionate about raising her lovely twins, Sutton and August—guiding them through countless difficulties and challenges. Her unwavering grace, poise, kindness, gregariousness, talent, and passion will forever be remembered, celebrated, and emulated by her friends and family.

Jennifer is survived by her devoted husband of thirty-one years, Samuel; her loving son & daughter-in-law August & Elizabeth; and her three siblings: Jim, Heather, and Bridget—as well as their spouses and Jennifer’s lovely nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by her dear daughter, Sutton.

The funeral is scheduled for July 29, 2023 at the Basilica of Saint Josaphat in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Visitation will begin at 10 a.m. and Mass to follow at 11 a.m. Bishop Jeffery Haines will officiate. A reception will follow at The University Club of Milwaukee.
