Crystal Offerman Obituary

Crystal Lee (Bush) Offerman, 37, passed away on October 17, 2025, in Vinton, Iowa in a tragic car accident. Born on July 16, 1988 in Marysville, California.

She leaves behind five beautiful children. Natalyn Coyle, Scotty Coyle, Karyna Coyle, Leon Offerman, and Quinten Zeien. She was the only child of Ricky Bush of Soldotna. Her absence will leave a void in the hearts of many relatives and friends in Alaska, Iowa, Colorado and Casa Grande, Arizona where she spent most of her childhood. She went to SOHI in 2004-5. Her first job was Soldotna Dairy Queen. She was preceded in death by two close cousins Chance and Marina Chavez, her grandparents Loretta (Hatten) and Jack Spade of Casa Grande Arizona and her grandfather who she never got to meet Billy Bush from Kasilof.

I knew her from her workplace. Whenever she began her shift, she'd come & chat with me for a while if I was there. I don't know why, but for some reason, I "clicked" with her better than anyone else there.
I'm going to miss sharing time with her... and our appreciation for the work of "Weird Al" Yankovic.
