Crystal Lynn Saunders, 54, passed away peacefully on August 17, 2025, her 24th wedding anniversary.

Born on December 9,1970 in Miami, FL, Crystal was a beloved wife and she truly cherished her husband, Jason. She loved her family dearly and was a wonderful daughter, and a devoted big sister. She was dedicated to her career as business manager for Benson Homes and often said that bookkeeping was her "happy place". She had a gift for organization and was a big fan of To Do lists! She enjoyed vacationing with her husband in the beautiful blue ridge mountains. She lived and loved generously and was a proud aunt to 15 nieces and nephews.

Her relationship with Jesus was the foundation of who she was and she loved to talk about the grace of God in her life.

Left to treasure her memory is her loving husband, Jason Saunders; her parents, Jeff and Susan King; siblings, Karyn King, Timothy King, Joseph King, Deborah Dunn (Adam), and Rebecca O'Neill (Troy); her grandmother, Beatrice Hennessy; as well as uncles, aunts, cousins, nieces and nephews.

A service to celebrate Crystal's life will be held, Monday, August 25, 2025 at 2 PM in Graham Funeral Home & Crematory, 1112 Kempsville Rd, Chesapeake with Pastor Daniel Davey officiating. The family will receive friends following the service in the Reception Center for a time of food and fellowship.
