7960331500?profile=originalBy Ron Hayes

GULF STREAM — Aloha Krueger, a resident of Gulf Stream for more than 40 years, died March 17 after a short illness. She was 97 and lived in Place Au Soleil.
Born in Oakland, Calif., on Jan. 24, 1914, Mrs. Krueger moved to New York City after high school and enjoyed an early career as a fashion model. She worked in high fashion retail stores in Westchester County, N.Y., after her marriage and also sold real estate in Greenwich and Stamford, Conn., until 1970, when she retired to Gulf Steam with her husband, Jackson Hancock.
An avid golfer since the 1940s, Mrs. Krueger once belonged to five area country clubs, including The Little Club and The Ocean Club.
She played bridge and wrote poetry.
“She was an amateur poetess and entertained her friends by composing poems for birthdays and anniversaries,” recalled her daughter, Sharon Osmolovsky, of Kensington, Md. “Her friends would request some verse and she enjoyed doing that.”
She will be buried beside her late husband in Hillcrest Cemetery in Holly Springs, Miss.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to any charity in her memory.
