Hana Krasa

Our family, friends, locally and abroad mourn the loss of Hana. She lost everything and everyone, except her brother, in the Holocaust.  Her answer to the genocide was to rebuild her family. After starting life over 3 times from nothing in  Czechoslovakia, Israel and the USA , she achieved, together with her husband of 65 years Edgar Krasa, all she could have dreamed of. With her boundless love, generosity, dedication, sacrifice and hard work, she built a wonderful life, home and family. She will be missed by her husband Edgar, sons and daughters in-law Daniel and Tatjana, Raphael and Debra, and her five grandchildren Rachel, Yonatan, Benyamin, Rebecca, Alex and many friends.
A funeral service will take place on Thursday April 16 at 10 AM at the Wilson Chapel at 234 Herrick Road, Newton Centre, MA 02459, followed by burial at King Solomon Cemetery at 2690 Centre St., W. Roxbury 02132.  Following the burial, Shiva will be at her residence until 4 PM  and will resume from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM.  Saturday from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM and Sunday from 3 PM to 5 PM.
