Crystal loved her life and her children, some people have great loves in this life and Crystal was no exception, her greatest love was for her children. In addition to her children, she enjoyed holidays and family gathering; she delighted in spending time outdoors, hunting and fishing. She was aptly named. "Crystal" is defined as a transparent gemstone used to reflect brilliant light, the bible frequently uses it to describe things of great value and beauty which was reflected as she strove for excellence in her life, even though she quit school when she was in the 11th grade she went back in 2008 and completed her education, receiving her diploma was monumental accomplishment. Although Crystal was illiterate she refused to accept that she could not fulfill her dreams and aspirations, she met with a literacy teacher and became accomplished at both reading and writing on a college level. Not only was her family proud of her, she was so proud of herself. Crystal was much loved and will be missed by all who knew her.
