She was born June 10, 1960, in Danville, Illinois, daughter of the late Max and Zealie (Lourdeau) Baker.

She married Richard "Rick" Krankavitch on June 28, 1980, in Westville, Illinois and he survives.

Mona was a graduate of Georgetown High School and later went on to graduate from Danville Area Community College. She worked for 27 years as a secretary for Catlin Grade School/Salt Fork North where she could famously be heard over the door intercom saying, "Right door, please!" and arranging school events for the kids and staff. More than anything, Mona loved spending time with her family. She was lovingly referred to as "Mother Christmas" by those who knew her best and would come up with new games each year for her family to play like the "Right/Left/Across" game to bring her family closer together at the Christmas gift exchange.

A Celebration of Life for Mona will be held at 1PM on Wednesday, December 27, 2023, at Sunset Funeral Home and Cremation Center 3940 N Vermilion Street Danville, IL 61834 with Pastor James Blue officiating. Visitation will be from 11AM-1PM on Wednesday, December 27, 2023, at the funeral home.
