Mrs. Krause’s husband, Benjamin, died at an early age, leaving Mrs. Krause to support their two daughters on her own. She drew her income from an apartment building she owned and managed for more than 15 years. Mrs. Krause enjoyed sewing and spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Survivors include two daughters, Silvia Freier and Dolly Kopin; 5 grandchildren; and 12 great-grandchildren. Services will be held at noon Tuesday in Piser Original Weinstein Chapel, 3019 W.
