Krista Carwardine Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Dec. 23, 2024.

Krista Carwardine, aged 52, passed away on December 22, 2024, in Waltham, Massachusetts. Born on January 15, 1972, in Scranton, Pennsylvania, Krista led a fulfilling life marked by her adventurous spirit and dedication to her career.

A graduate of Pittston Area High School, Krista furthered her education at Indiana University of Pennsylvania and later earned her Master's degree from the University of Cincinnati. Professionally, she excelled as the Director of Operations at Eisai in Cambridge, where her leadership and expertise were invaluable.

Krista's zest for life was evident in her love for travel, attending concerts, and enjoying spa and hockey weekends with friends. She was especially fond of Josh Ritter concerts, never considering any venue too far to experience live music.

She is survived by her brother, Ryan Carwardine, and was preceded in death by her parents, Linda and Gary Carwardine. In keeping with her wishes, there will be no memorial service. Krista's legacy of joy, kindness, and resilience will be cherished and remembered by all who knew her.

I held our new baby cousin Krista the day her Mommy and Daddy brought her home from the hospital. She was sweet and so pretty. She had the most perfect little mouth and pixie nose. I was in love instantly. We connected that day and forever. I love you Kris. We are all proud of your accomplishments in life and that you did life so well. That was your way to live big. I never thought this would happen. The boys miss you too. We talk about the few times we were all together with you, how you made them feel important by asking about their lives. And you generously gifted Forrest, the budding photographer one of your old but very good cameras. He still uses that camera and loves the results it gives him. We will never forget you . I love you . I´m keeping in touch with RJ and working on getting him to the next family reunion. I know he would enjoy it. And we´ll take care of him all along the way. My head is flooded with memories of our childhood and of all the get togethers at grams or mom and dads or Aunt Linda´s. And Uncle Gary´s. Krista made everyone feel welcome and was always in a good mood. I honestly don´t remember spending time with you as a moody teen. You simply were not one of them. You had people to see and things to do and you were all about doing good things for others. It hurts that you are gone now. Still hard to believe, your memory lives on.

Krista was a client of mine (I work for JAGGAER) for a few years and just learned of Krista's passing. I am so sorry to her family and may she rest in peace. She was also smiling and was fully dedicated to her work. She is one of my favorite client contacts. She was a very sweet and funny person. She will be missed by myself as well as many others at JAGGAER who have worked with her.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I will greatly miss Krista. She was such an integral part of Eisai/G2D2. The office will not be the same without her spirit, dedication and kindness. She was a wonderful person and friend.

Ryan, I'm so sorry for you loss! I met you when I was leaving EISAI in Cambridge and we shook hands through my drivers side window as Krista was introducing us. She was amazing and the world will not shine as bright, but the heavens will, with her bright spirit. We will remember her forever

Krista,

I am so sad to hear you leaving our world so soon. You always brightened up my day when I was still with Eisai. I have a feeling you are still doing that wherever you are now. Rest in peace.

Ryan, I'm so sorry to hear the news of Krista's passing. She worked in my lab in graduate school. I remember her as being smart, sarcastic and a lot of fun. We would make a point of getting together annually at the national meetings when we could. Again, please accept my condolences.
