Crystal M. Easterling

I met Crystal in junior high, went to High school with her and have been best of friends for many years after that. Although Crystal lived life on her own terms, and made some mistakes along the way (as most of us have) she had a shining heart of gold inside of her. Crystal was a wonderful mother to Clay and to Sara, but she was also a terrific "aunt" to my children as well, she tutored my son at math, she built the most amazing huge winding catipillar cake for my daughters' birthday and...

I was saddened to hear of Crystal's passing. We were neighbors and friends for several years. My prayers and thoughts go out to Crystal's family.

I first met Crystal in a typing class in junior high. She was very funny and was always pushing me to do better. In high school we became closer friends and enjoyed our time together. We were the 2 best typest in the class. My senior year I moved to MN. While I was there, we kept in contact as she was keeping me up on current events. Came back and enjoyed our friendship. I left and joined the Navy. I did see her on occasion when I returned for a visit. She was always very kind and...

I first met Crystal in 1975. We went to school together, worked together in the Elephant Ear Shack at the Fair in Fairbanks, Soltice, the Anderson Blue Grass Festival, Cheap Charlies and at many Street Fairs. Crystal worked hard, played hard and loved hard. Her children were the highlight of her life. Crystal and I became very good friends. I could always count on Crystal, in fact she was one of the very best true friends that I have ever had. Life gives us very few true friends and I...

My thoughts and prayers are with Jim, Clay, Sara and Crystal's Mother. I met Crystal only a few years ago, but she showed me a sensitive side that not many can equal. She offered help to everyone she came in contact with. She took me to the Delta/Clearwater to fish and we caught two wonderful fish and took them directly to camp and cooked them on the fire and it started to rain. We ate these Beautiful fish in the cab of my old truck and headed back to Fairbanks. Heaven has received...

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Nita, I know that this is so very hard for you; Crystal was "your girl" and she loved you very much. She will be greatly missed by many people. I will also be praying for her children.

I met crystal around 1979 while employed in the same department at UAf, Fairbanks. She and I had become friends since then. We had parted ways at different times with different careers. Later, when I came back to alaska in 1993, we bumped into each other from time to time. (Fairbanks isn't that big yet. lol) We talked about our own "demons" (we all have them to one degree or another) and our lives. I cared for Crystal and never gave up on our friendship. I only met her mom once but knew she...

Crystal and I became good friends in middle school. I remember her teaching me how to make tacos. To this day I make them the way she taught me. We played softball together for many years. Remembering the road trips we took playing softball makes me smile. Crystal had a big heart and enjoyed life to the fullest, she lived life on her terms and will be greatly missed
