Our beloved Crystal Marie Ingersoll - daughter of Denise Shepherd (Gemmil) and Michael Ingersoll, has passed away unexpectedly on September 27, 2025 at home with her loved ones by her side.
Crystal was 39 years old and was born on November 19, 1985 in Bay City. She leaves behind her three children, Izabella, Isiah and Xavier; as well as her grandchildren, Leo, Rain and Zalen, whom all were her absolute pride and joy – and meant the world to her. Also surviving are her sister, Sarah Perez; and three brothers, Chris Perez, Chris Ingersoll and C.J. Ingersoll as well as several nieces and nephews. Crystal was preceded in death by her brother, Michael Ingersoll Jr. whom also recently passed away on November 16, 2025; as well as her grandmother, Arlene Gemmil; aunt, Toni Timrick and uncle, Arnold Ingersoll.
Crystal was a longtime employee of Comfort Inn Suites, where she made many long-term friendships, especially her very dear and best friend, Kathy. She also recently was an employee of Michigan Sugar Company.
Crystal had a love for adventure and anything to do with being outdoors – from going camping, swimming and going out for a boat ride. But nothing could compare to the smile on her face when she was doing what she enjoyed most and that was spending time with her family.
Her smile and the sound of her laughter will be a cherished memory that will continue to linger on in the hearts of those who loved her. Wherever a beautiful soul has been, there is a trail of beautiful memories' left behind that shall never fade away. What we have once enjoyed we can never lose, all that we love so deeply becomes a part of us that can never be taken away, and will remain in our hearts forever.
Our dear Crystal – WE love you to the moon and back.
The family will be having a Memorial Celebration of her life for friends and family & for those who would like to pay their respects – Please join us for a luncheon at Portsmouth Township Hall (1711 Cass Ave. Road; Bay City, MI 48708) on Saturday, November 22nd, 2025 at 2:00 pm.
