Ana [Anna] Urek Krosel was born in the lower part of the Austro-Hungarian Duchy of Styria in the Village of Loč [in present day Slovenia]. She was the daughter of Janež and Ana Brinjaveč Urek.
Ana originally intended to marry one Joseph Spieler in Loč, but the couple was thwarted by Ana's mother, Ana, who thought Joseph was below her daughter's station. When the couple tried to elope, Ana's mother found out and they were intercepted by the police at the train station. Ana had one child, Marija, by Joseph before coming to the U.S.A.
She met family in Omaha, NE, where she worked as a maid, cleaning Pullman cars for the railroad, before meeting and eventually marrying Joseph Krosel. The couple settled in Sharpsburg, Allegheny County, PA.
While not explicitly stated in the death certificate, it is likely that Ana died from complications with her last childbirth. Care of her daughter [Josephine] Jeanne was effectively taken over by Jeanne's oldest sister, Mary Hrason, on Mary's wedding night.
