Obituary of Constance "Connie" Marie Krout

Constance was born in Valley View, Pennsylvania, but spent most of her young life in Pottsville, Pennsylvania. She was the only daughter of Beatrice Ossman Pelachick, but was raised by her stepfather, Theodore Pelachick. Connie graduated from Pottsville High School. She quickly moved on to independently support herself as a telephone operator until she met her soulmate and husband of fifty-five years, Richard Eugene Krout. They lived in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania for a few short years, then built their Pennsylvania dream house in Boiling Springs, Pennsylvania. There she raised her children and built deep-seated roots, with many lasting friendships and many adventures, spending numerous days playing tennis at Allenberry Resort and Inn. She spent those years as a wonderful wife and homemaker for their two children, packing up for weekends spent skiing at Denton Hill or boating on the Susquehanna River in the summer. After Richard's retirement, they built their western dream house in Park City, Utah, where they spent twenty-five years. There, Connie developed even more deep and lasting friendships, spending her time snow skiing, playing golf, traveling the world or just spending quality time with friends. Anyone who knew her was familiar with Hotel Krout, as she absolutely loved to host and entertain people. She so enjoyed spending time with her three granddaughters when they visited, teaching them to ski and play golf, taking them to rodeos, and, most importantly, grilling the Krout Special Rack of lamb and homemade soup.Anyone who knew Connie loved her. She was a brightly sparkling personality that could start a conversation with anyone, a skill that astounded those around her. She loved to push boundaries, and was never afraid to wear just about anything to a party, no matter what her age. Her adventuresome and winning personality, her emotional strength to keep pushing through no matter how her body challenged her will be legacies that will live on.Connie is preceded in death by her beloved husband, Richard; and her half-brother, Ted Pelachick. She is survived by her half-brother, Edward Pelachick; her children, Richard Eugene Krout, Jr. and Wendy Krout Day; her daughter-in-law, Laura Krout, her son-in-law, Christian Day; and her granddaughters, Sydney Lauren Day, Nicole Rebecca Day, and Danielle Victoria Day.Services for both Connie and Dick Krout will be held at 1:00PM, Saturday, August 21, 2021, at Park City Community Church, 4501 UT-224, Park City, Utah 84098 with a reception to follow.
