Joanne

Krebs

Beloved wife, devoted mother, cherished sister, and loving aunt, Joanne (Frey) Krebs, 66, passed away on November 8, 2026, surrounded by the love of those whose lives she touched, and who will forever hold her memory close to their hearts.

Born on February 16. 1960, in Baltimore Maryland, Joanne was the youngest child of Frances L. (Teller) Frey and Frederick H. Frey. She grew up in Overlea and later moved to Timonium where she graduated from Dulaney Senior High School. She dedicated her career to the Baltimore County Courts system, where her professionalism, dedication, and strong work ethic earned her the respect and admiration of her colleagues, many of whom became lifelong friends.

Joanne was a loving, thoughtful, and caring woman who was always there to lend a helping hand or provide comfort and support to those she loved. She was a devoted and loving wife and mother whose children were the greatest joy of her life.

She had a deep love for the beach where the beauty and peacefulness of the ocean brought her happiness. We were all blessed to spend our annual family vacations with her on the beaches of Ocean City, Maryland. Gathered together with her husband, children, siblings, nieces and nephews, we all relived our childhood memories of our family vacations on Third Street. These memories inspire us as we reflect on her love for all of us.

Joanne is survived by her loving husband, Michael H. as well as her children, Zachary M. and Kristen N. She was preceded in death by her mother, father and loving stepmother, Miriam R. Frey, as well as her sisters, Mary F. Ashworth and Margaret T. Frey. She is also survived by six other siblings, Frederick L. Frey (Brenda), Donna J. Hild (Jeffrey), Thomas M. Frey (Betty Ann), David R. Frey (Pamela Breslin), Mary Rita Reahl (Michael), and Barbara A. Zink. In addition, she is survived by her sister-in-law, Rebecca A. Frey. She is also survived by many nieces and nephews.

The family will receive friends at the family owned Ruck Towson Funeral Home (Beltway exit 26) on Thursday, November 19 from 10-12 PM with a memorial service to start at 12 PM
