In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her son, Darin, and brother, Tom.
Surviving are her daughters, Crystal Kravits and husband, Mark, Shavertown; and Colleen Breining, Wyoming; grandchildren, Kyleigh and Kade; and several nephews.

Colleen, I am so sorry to hear! My heart goes out to you in this sudden shock. No doubt lots of folks ask what they can do to help. I would ask the same question but I suspect the answer would be the one thing that can not be done and I am so sorry for that and your loss.
