Honoring Marge Kraskouskas

It is with a a heavy heart and deep sadness — yet with feelings of great affection and fond memories — that I share with all of you the passing of Marge Kraskouskas on December 23, 2019.

Marge’s impact on her family, her community and our YMCA will be felt long after all of us are gone. Her contributions to the human condition of all the people she loved and cared for is the very definition of the word legacy.

Marge Kraskouskas was part of the fabric of our YMCA for more than 30 years. She was quite literally and figuratively the heart and soul of our Y family. The countless lives she touched and her passion for improving the quality of life of all those who were fortunate enough to benefit from her grace and wisdom was a blessing. The compassion she shared on a daily basis made all of us who knew her better for the experience, and grateful for her friendship.

Since her retirement, our Y has presented the Marge Kraskouskas Legacy of Caring Award each year at our staff recognition event recognizing a staff member for their loyalty, caring and commitment to the mission and vision of our Y. We were thrilled Marge joined us last summer at our annual luncheon.

Please join me in extending our thoughts and prayers to the Kraskouskas family that she loved so deeply. Her devotion to family is something all of us can emulate during this holiday season.

May God Bless Marge Kraskouskas and her family.

Sincerely,

Ed Hurley
President, Hockomock Area YMCA
