A Los Angeles native and 1960 graduate of UCLA, Krieger developed a passion for collecting with her husband, Dr. Fred Krieger. Early in 1970s, they began building an important collection of art and objects that included Mexican silver jewelry, beaded handbags, and rugs and textiles from Asia, the Middle East, Guatemala, Mexico and other countries.
In a UCLA Today story written by Wendy Soderburg in 2010, Krieger said, "I love my job, and I feel inspired to be here. The museum is wonderful, and the people I work with are very special, talented people. And, of course, working in an atmosphere with great art — well, I feel very lucky about that!"
In addition to her husband of 53 years, she is survived by her children, Lauren Krieger of Santa Monica, Spencer Krieger of South Pasadena, Terry Krieger of Long Beach and Alissa Krieger-DeWitt of Truro, Mass.; and brother Seymour Nadelman. She had nine grandchildren.
