May 13, 1936 – April 26, 2026
Please pray for the repose of the soul of Sister Barbara Krick, formerly Sister Janet Emily, who died at the Teresian House in Albany, New York, on April 26, 2026. She was a Sister of St. Joseph for 71 years.
Born in Syracuse, New York, Barbara was the daughter of Leonard and Katherine Krick. Educated in both elementary and secondary schools in Syracuse, she received her bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the College of Saint Rose in Albany, New York.
Following her many years as an elementary school teacher, Sister Barbara’s diverse talents led her to parish ministry, coordinating the family life program in the Syracuse diocese and as a therapist in the Onondaga Pastoral Counseling Center.
Even when she ‘retired’ she volunteered as the manager of the Carondelet Gift Shoppe at the Provincial House in Latham. In her spare time, she was also a gifted poet. In all her ministries, Sister Barbara was known for her kindness, generosity and dedication.
Sister Barbara was predeceased by her parents, her brother, Bernard and her sister, Janet. She will be missed by her relatives, her many friends and the Sisters of St. Joseph.
Sister Barbara’s wake will be held from 9:30 – 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, April 30, in the Chapel of Saint Joseph’s Provincial House, Latham. A funeral liturgy will be celebrated in the Provincial House Chapel at 10:30 a.m. that same day.
