She was always ready to take the kids to the river or creek, and spend the day soaking up the sun and maybe doing a cookout. When her children played baseball or football, they had no bigger fan than Kristy, Mom was with them every game. She loved to watch her granddaughter, chasing her around the yard, or curling up to watch her favorite show, Big Bang Theory.

She attended whenever she could and loved her church family. She never let her illness define her, Kristy lived each day to the fullest, and smiled so everyone could see how much she loved life.
