In January 2018 Crystal and William retired in Ferron, Utah. Crystal was a gifted seamstress. She would make dresses for her daughters, family, bridesmaids and brides. She loved creating, from blankets to curtains and clothes. We would often see her at the sewing machine playing her favorite country music. Crystal was a child of God. She believed in Jesus and never let anything set her back. She fought for those she loved and the values she believed in. She was a protector of her family and loved them with all her heart. Crystal’s smile, like sunshine, could light up any room and it was always loving and warm. From her classy style to her great taste, she inspired beauty and love in all aspects of her life.
