According to , she died Dec. 28 at her home in Geneva. 

Krupsak served two terms in the state Assembly and one in the state Senate before seeking the Democratic nomination for lieutenant governor in 1974. She defeated Mario Cuomo in the primary to become the first woman nominee for lieutenant governor. 

Running on a ticket with gubernatorial nominee Hugh Carey, the Democrats won the general election. Krupsak became the first woman elected lieutenant governor in New York. 

Among her achievements as lieutenant governor was saving Radio City Music Hall from demolition and advocating for its preservation as a national historic landmark. 

Four years later, in 1978, Krupsak challenged Carey to be the Democratic nominee for governor. But Carey won the primary against his former running mate. 

Krupsak remained active in politics. She unsuccessfully ran for Congress in 1980 and a state Senate in 1990. Those were her last political campaigns. 

Gov. Kathy Hochul, who is the first woman to serve as governor after she was lieutenant governor for six years, said she is saddened by Krupsak's death. 

"I worked on her campaign while in high school in 1974, and I was proud to follow in her footsteps forty years later," Hochul wrote on X. "Our thoughts are with her family and loved ones." 

Outside of politics, Krupsak was a senior partner at the Krupsak & Mahoney law firm and co-founded an economic development firm, Krupsak, Wass de Czege & Associates. She sat on several corporate boards, including Coleco — the company that manufactured Cabbage Patch Kids. 

She was also involved in developing the Finger Lakes wine industry. She was friends with Dr. Konstantin Frank, who played a leading role in the industry's growth in the region. 

Krupsak was born in Schenectady in 1932 and raised in Amsterdam. She attended the University of Rochester, where she earned a history degree, and graduated with a master's degree in public communication from Boston University in 1955. She continued her studies at the University of Chicago Law School, where she earned her law degree in 1962. 

Before being an elected official in state government, she was a staffer. She was a public information officer at the state Department of Commerce and an aide to Gov. W. Averell Harriman. 

Krupsak's funeral will be held at 10 a.m. Monday at St. Francis De Sales Church in Geneva. She will be buried at Fort Hill Cemetery in Auburn.
