Kathy Jo Krupa, 54, a lifelong resident of Crosswicks, passed Wednesday, May 26, 2020. Kathy enjoyed a full and active life anchored in her love of family, friends and horses.   She lived for the magic the horse gave to healing people's minds and bodies.  Kathy founded and operated Horsetime Inc., the first organization offering certified equine assisted psychotherapy services (EAP) in New Jersey.   Kathy was an Equine specialist with Eagala, a nonprofit international association for professionals providing equine-assisted psychotherapy and personal development.

Kathy appreciated travel and adventure, having visited many places around the world, never shy to venture off the beaten track.  She also led a sociable life that cultivated friendships far and wide and stayed well rooted in family and faith. She had a love of live music that encouraged daughter Hannah to follow her dreams in voice and music.  More than anything Kathy cherished spending time with family in travel or in boating down the shore or down the bay at East Point, NJ, their home away.

Predeceased by her father, Rev. George Gibbs, Kathy is survived by her husband, Chris Krupa; her daughter, Hannah; her son, Haven; her mother Kay Gibbs Gura as well as many brothers, sister, nieces, nephews and cousins.

Services will be private with a memorial service to be planned for a later date.  Arrangements are under the direction of Peppler Funeral Home, Allentown.
