KREBS, Mary Beth, 68, of Louisville, died peacefully at her home on September 19, 2017, after a long struggle with brain cancer. Born in Louisville to the late Tony and Della (Meena) Vuturo, she was a graduate of Assumption High School (Class of ’67) and Ursuline Bellarmine College. Mary Beth retired from JCPS as a speech therapist, having started her career at the Cerebral Palsy School.

She is survived by her husband of 44 years, Kenny Krebs; four daughters, Bernadette Sadlo (Jim), Kate Shanks (Greg), Julia Patterson (Alan), and Susannah Krebs; mother-in-law, Bernadette Krebs; brothers, Tony F. Vuturo, MD (Joan) and Richard M. Vuturo (Martha); grandchildren, Eli, Christina, Tyler, Andrew Henry, Brendan, Brooke, and Jack; and numerous nieces, nephews, and great-nieces and nephews.
