Crystelle Chilson Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jan. 31, 2015.
Crystelle L. Chilson, 20, a lifelong Alaskan, died unexpectedly Wednesday, Jan. 28, 2015 in Anchorage. The location for the Memorial Service for Crystelle has changed. Her Memorial Service will be held at the Nikiski Community Recreation Center, Mile 23.4 of the Kenai Spur Highway, at 4:00 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 3, 2015.
Crystelle was born Jan. 19, 1995 in Soldotna. She grew up on the Kenai Peninsula attending school in Nikiski. She moved to the Wasilla area in her mid-teens where she graduated a year early from high school. She was recently living and working in the Anchorage area.
Crystelle was exceedingly creative. At a very young age she would express herself by writing stories and plays. She loved making music, and became an excellent self-taught guitarist and began to both write and perform original songs that came from her heart.
Crystelle had a beautiful smile and a radiant twinkle in her eye. She was full of dreams, full of hope and possibilities for her life. She loved her savior Jesus, and deep within her heart was never far from Him. She loved her friends and relationships, the smiles and laughter they shared together, and the excitement of both being with people, but also the interaction with them.
Crystelle was truly a friend to many and will be missed by all who ever knew her.
She was preceded in death by her Grandmother Sandy Chilson.
She is survived by her mother, Christine Tweedy; father, Todd Chilson; brother, Chance; grandparents Henry and Nancy Haney; and grandfather, Dick Chilson; aunts and uncles, Lisa Haney and Artie Soria, Henry and Latisha Haney, Shanette and Shane Wik, Keith Chilson, Margo Pabst, Sabrina McGraw, and Desi Lonch; and cousins, James Cross, Isabella Soria, Jordan Chilson and Kali Brickley and Justin, Brando, Emma and Grace Wik.

I only knew Crystelle for a brief few months when she was younger. I knew then that she was a gift to the world. To her parents, thank you for bringing her here. She touched forever everyone that was in her life. I feel fortunate to have seen that gleam in her eye and the spirit in her soul. Rest in peace, light, and love.

I didn't know Crystelle very well, but in the short while I did I saw such a beautiful young woman. She had such a friendly and welcoming personality. My condolences go out to her family and friends as she's a bright light that was taken much too soon. I wish I could have been as blessed as everyone else to know her better.

Rest easy sweetheart. <3

I remember the very first moment meeting Crystelle. I just moved to Nikiski, and it was my very first day of 5th grade and she was the first person I was introduced to by our teacher. She was so sweet, outgoing, and comforting right off the bat. I was so scared being in a new place but she made me feel like I'd belonged. Her heart was always in the right place. We maintain our friendship over the last 10 years since then, and reconnected when she moved to Wasilla. We kept contact, sometimes really close and sometimes not for months. But she was always in my heart and thoughts. I'm going to miss her sooo extremely much, and I'm very bummed I can't make it to the service!!! I love you Crystelle, and I hope to see you again beautiful <3

Hello,
I just happened to come across Crystelle's life page and was touched by it. I can only imagine how hard it must be to say goodbye to someone so unexpectedly. It seems like Crystelle drew comfort and direction from God throughout her life. One thought that I felt was really comforting for me is 2 Kings 20:5 where God says that he hears your prayers and has seen your tears and that he will heal you. In this difficult time, I hope that you can find a little bit of comfort in know that amidst all your loving friends and family, a passing stranger is also thinking of you and praying you can also find some comfort.

Crystelle's death has brought great sadness to those who knew her, especially to her young friends. God invites you to draw close to him and he will give you the comfort you need; and he will make you firm and strong at this most difficult time (1 Peter 5:10). He will also sustain you in the years to come.

She will be missed by so many people of all ages. May the Lord who holds her now in Heaven bring comfort to all her family. I know the Lord is holding them up at this time.
