From the small town of Rollingstone in Winona County, Kronebusch attended the College of Saint Teresa in Winona, earning her B.A. degree in 1948. She later received her M.A. from Winona State University in 1969. She was a teacher and homemaker when she decided to run for the District 34 Senate seat, unseating incumbent Senator Roger Laufenburger, who had defeated her father, Senator James "J.R." Keller, for the same seat (then called District 2) in 1962. After taking office, she even received her father's old desk in the senate chamber.

Prior to being elected to the senate, Kronebusch was elected to the Winona District 861 School Board three times. She also served on the Winona State University Foundation Board of Directors and was involved in many state and local organizations including Birthright, the State of Minnesota Hospital Auxiliary Association, the State Rheumatoid Arthritis Advisory Board, and the National Federation of Business and Professional Women.
